Super Volunteers Advanced Training: Introduction to the TreeFolks Reforestation Program and Carbon Plus Credits
Introduction to the TreeFolks Reforestation Program and Carbon Plus Credits
Valerie Tamburri, TreeFolks Director of Reforestation, and Marina Weikel, Carbon Credit & GIS Coordinator, will teach us all about TreeFolks Central Texas Floodplain Reforestation Program, and what carbon plus credits are. The mission of CTFRP is to restore healthy forest buffers along riparian or streamside areas within a 7-county region. Learn how to help spread the word and recruit landowners to participate in this program and get free reforestation services.
Advanced Super Volunteer trainings are free and open to anyone, but you must register to attend. Please feel free to invite anyone you think would make a great Super Volunteer, or is just interested in learning more about these topics. Thanks for helping to spread the word!
What are Super Volunteers? Super Volunteers (also known as Volunteer Planting Supervisors) help make TreeFolks events successful by training and supporting regular volunteers. They act as leaders, teachers, and ambassadors for TreeFolks, guiding others in planting and caring for trees while fostering an inclusive and joyful environment.
What are Advanced Super Trainings? These are optional trainings we offer in the summer when we’re not planting trees. We go in depth on our programs, ecology, riparian restoration, tree health and care, soil, seed collection, and more!
When is the next Introductory Super training? We have 2 per year, in September and January. We will teach the basics of tree planting and care, volunteer management, and an introduction to TreeFolks’ history and programs. We will begin recruiting in June for the next training in September.
The training will be at Hornsby Bend Center for Environmental Research, 2210 FM973, Austin, TX 78725. We will offer a virtual option for those who can not attend in person
