In 1976, over 200 of our our oldest, largest, and most notable TREES were inducted in to the City of Austin Bicentennial Registry. Join us on October 24, 2009 as we pedal, bus, and walk to admire over fifty of our magnificent heritage trees. Register here.     The Tree-Wheelin' Bicycle Tour aims to honor these trees--they are among our oldest citizens and most efficient city workers--and to recognize the valuable role of the urban forest in providing clean air and water, absorbing storm run-off, saving millions of dollars annually in energy costs, and beautifying our city and neighborhoods! We'll kick off the day with a tree planting, and along the route you may enjoy a recreational climb, refreshments at any of our 50 sponsored trees, and qualify to win the Tree Tour raffle. A percentage of the proceeds will be dedicated to restoring the Bicentennial Plaques that once graced many of these specimen trees. Join us!
