About Us

Our programs work closely with schools, community organizations, government municipalities, and neighborhood associations to educate and involve citizens in tree planting and care. During the 2011-2012 planting season, TreeFolks helped to plant or distribute 13,000 trees in Central Texas. TreeFolks programs include:

• NeighborWoods, which delivers 3,600 free street trees each year to homeowners in the Austin Energy service area to combat the urban heat island effect
• CityShade, which coordinates opportunities for citizens to participate in public, tree planting events to improve their communities
• The Great Texas Tree Roundup, which trains citizens to identify and map trees in their communities to learn the economic, social, and environmental benefits of trees
• Sapling Days, which provides native saplings at various events in Central Texas each October
• Education, which offers workshops, tree giveaways, and presentations for community groups and events.
