Tree ID for Seed Savers at Texas Keeper Cider

Have you been wondering what kind of tree is growing in your yard? Maybe you want to learn a fun new skill? Well, you’re in luck, because the Central Texas Seed Savers and TreeFolks are coming to Texas Keeper Cider to lead a Tree ID lesson to help you learn a little more about what’s growing around you!

Folks of all ages can learn about the key characteristics that help differentiate one tree from another, and apply those skills afterwards to help keep our urban ecosystem diverse and resilient. In addition to learning about native Central Texas tree species, TreeFolks will also explain how to identify native trees, how to collect seeds ethically, and how to donate seeds to the brand-new TreeFolks nursery. You can help expand Austin’s urban canopy by helping TreeFolks expand its bank of local, native tree seeds! Make sure to register here!

Meet your walk leader at the TreeFolks sign at the far end of the picnic tables near the parking lot.
