Tree ID for MotherTree with The Vortex

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 the Vortex Theater to lead a Tree ID lesson to help you learn a little more about what’s growing around you!

You will learn how to identify native trees and how to safely and ethically collect seeds to donate to the TreeFolks Seeds To Trees Native Nursery.

Special thanks to the Vortex Theater for bringing us all together for this wonderful project in partnership with their production of MotherTree.

The Central Texas Seed Savers is a growing network of people who love seeds with the mission of preventing the extinction of ecologically and culinarily important plants in the Central Texas Region.

TreeFolks was founded as Austin’s Urban Forestry non-profit in 1989. Since then, TreeFolks has grown to work with communities throughout Central Texas in community tree planting, tree giveaways, education and urban-wildland reforestation efforts. Our mission is to empower Central Texans to build stronger communities through planting and caring for trees.
