Help us plant trees at an upcoming event! 🌳

Join us this Saturday, October 17th from 9am-1pm for a Community Tree Planting event at Norman Sims Elementary. We will plant 25 new trees and care for some older established trees. These trees will provide beauty and shade for all the students for many years to come!

🌱 Sign up: treefolks.org/volunteer

Next Saturday, October 24th, we'll be at Community First! Village from 9am-1pm planting trees at a new community development that will provide permanent housing for people transitioning out of chronic homelessness. The trees will provide shade, privacy, and green space as the community develops.

🌱 Sign up: treefolks.org/ctp-cfv

We're looking for extra hands to help us at both events. No experience needed! We will provide training, tools, gloves, water, coffee, and breakfast tacos.

This tree has a "huge gnarled twisted trunk, and massive branching "arms" to climb on, over, and around. It must have weathered a lot in its life to have come out looking so sprawling, and yet so strong. It is an amazing spot for a picnic or to sit and quietly enjoy the fact that such a thing exists."

Nominated by Chelsea Miller in the Unique Tree category for the Austin Tree of the Year Awards

Public voting is open until October 19th! Vote for your favorite trees: treefolks.org/toty⠀

🌱 Why plant trees along Austin’s creeks?

Because what happens along the creek bank can affect the whole ecosystem.

On Thursday, November 5, join TreeFolks at Montopolis Practice Fields to plant native saplings along an urban creek. Their roots can help hold soil in place, slow and filter stormwater, while growing trees provide shade and habitat for wildlife.

This work is especially meaningful in Montopolis. The neighborhood is connected to a network of creek corridors that eventually flow toward Carson Creek and the Colorado River. Caring for these green spaces helps support healthier waterways and places for people and wildlife to enjoy.

No tree-planting experience is needed. We’ll show you what to do and provide the trees, tools, gloves, water, and snacks. Just bring a reusable water bottle, dress for the outdoors, and come ready to get your hands in the soil.

🌳 Volunteer at treefolks.org/vol-ctp

📍 Montopolis Practice Fields, 901 Vasquez St.
📅 Thursday, November 5
⏰ 9 a.m.–1 p.m.

After the July 4, 2025, floods, recovery has meant more than clearing debris. For many landowners and communities, it has meant standing in places that look completely different from what they did before and asking what comes next. Through Rooted in Recovery, TreeFolks is preparing to help flood-affected areas begin a long-term healing process, one tree, one landowner, and one landscape at a time.

Hear from Brandy, a landowner affected by the floods and see why this work matters. Her story is at the heart of this year’s RootBall.

When you attend RootBall 2026: Stewards of the Forest, A Woodland Masquerade, your tickets, sponsorships, and donations help TreeFolks plant trees, share tree care guidance, create volunteer opportunities, and support communities as recovery takes root.

RootBall is almost here! Join us on Thursday, October 29, at Barr Mansion for a beautiful evening rooted in purpose, hope, and action.

Reserve your spot today: treefolks.org/rootball
