Programs: Treefolks empowers central texans to build stronger communities through planting and caring for trees. Since 1989, treefolks has planted more than 1. 6 million trees to provide the basic necessities of life; clean air and water, habitat for wildlife, and shelter from the hot texas sun. Treefolks provides services through four primary programs: -neighborwoods provides free trees and tree care education to austin residents to combat the urban heat island effect and improve the health of the urban forest. -cityshade partners with local municipal agencies to engage volunteers in tree planting events and provide ongoing tree care opportunities in public spaces. -bastrop county community reforestation restores the lost pines by providing comprehensive reforestation services to private landowners affected by the devastating 2011 wildfires. -education initiatives offer hands-on workshops, courses and presentations on various tree topics designed to provide homeowners and professionals the information needed to properly manage their urban trees. Treefolks serves over 10,000 individuals each year through our tree planting and educational initiatives. The thousands of volunteers recruited annually and the sense of ownership gained from local community members enable treefolks and their partners to maximize limited resources and improve the health of urban trees.
