Tree Care at Graham Elementary
Date: Saturday, April 11, 2026
Volunteer Shift: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Location: Graham Elementary, 11211 Tom Adams Drive, Austin, TX 78753
Volunteer with TreeFolks for a Tree Care work day! Help provide care for trees planted at Graham Elementary in 2023 as part of our Neighbors Planting Trees program. Austin has experienced a 25% reduction in tree canopy cover over the past 30 years due to rapid urban growth, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities in the city’s eastern crescent. TreeFolks provided follow-up care for these trees for 3 years.
Trees planted in urban settings need our love and attention to grow and thrive. You will help our staff provide basic tree care, such as mulching, weeding, and light pruning, to retain moisture around roots, prevent weed growth, and protect trees from extreme temperatures.
No experience or tools are needed. We will train everyone at the beginning of the event, and provide all tools, materials, gloves, water, and snacks. Please bring a water bottle, dress for working outdoors, and take breaks when necessary!
If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with Gillian: volunteer@treefolks.org, (512) 761-8738 cell
