CommuniTrees is a grant program that offers trees and planting expertise to volunteer groups planning tree planting projects on a variety of public lands. Since 1992, CommuniTrees has provided thousands of trees to schools, churches, medians, green-spaces and housing projects all over the Austin area.
TreeFolks provides trees, design assistance, tools, training, educational materials, planting supervision and instructions for the long-term care of the trees. Recipients provide volunteers and tree maintenance for at least 2 years after planting.
If you have a group of dedicated people that can plant, water and maintain trees for at least 2 years, you may submit a tree grant application for the 2011-2012 planting season. For more information, please contact carly@treefolks.org.
