TreeFolks Summer Education Series – Welcome to the NeighborWoods: Tree Adoptions, How to Get Involved, and All About Fruit Trees

Join us on Saturday, September 20, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM for a free, in-person training.

NeighborWoods is giving away over 8,000 trees to the public this season, and we need YOU to help these trees grow and thrive! Learn everything you need to know to fill an educational role at a NeighborWoods tree adoption event and boost your fruit tree knowledge at the same time. The first part of this training will focus on tree selection, planting location, planting techniques, and care. Then we will learn more about the fruit trees that NeighborWoods will be offering for adoption this season – pruning, pests, grafting – a little of everything. Afterwards, you can visit the TreeFolks Native Trees Nursery and see what we have been growing!

The NeighborWoods program is a partnership with the City of Austin and Austin Energy.

This training is free and open to anyone, but you must register to attend. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with Gillian: volunteer@treefolks.org, (512) 761-8738 cell
