• Planted 3 million trees and distributed over 165,000 trees to Austin residents in 33 years
• Engaged more than 20,000 volunteers since 2010, who collectively planted around 12,000 trees each year
• Annually provided tree-focused educational experiences for 1,500 participants
• Led reforestation efforts in the Lost Pines region after the 2011 Bastrop wildfires and along the Blanco River following the 2015 floods
• Initiated a carbon sequestration and floodwater mitigation program to address the causes and impacts of climate change
