Ready, Set, Plant! at Givens Park
Join TreeFolks & our community partners for a seedling planting at Givens Park in East Austin. TreeFolks will bring all the tools and materials needed, as well as coffee and light refreshments.
Ready, Set, Plant! is a volunteer tree-planting program that plants 10,000 trees each year along Austin’s creeks and rivers. We educate volunteers on proper tree planting techniques and riparian restoration in partnership with the City of Austin’s Watershed Protection Department and Keep Austin Beautiful. Our events are family friendly and provide an opportunity for community members to connect with Austin’s public lands.
For questions, please contact volunteer@treefolks.org or (512) 761-8738.
Hi! I’m wondering if the planting project at Givens Park will include planting trees near the creek. Our Kindergartners and first graders have been studying Austin creeks and, if this project could include kids, I think it would be a great way for them to apply their learning. Thank you for your help!
Hi Alexa,
You are correct. Our Ready, Set, Plant! events are all creekside planting events. They are also family/child friendly and are a great opportunity for kids to get out and learn about forestry/riparian ecology. If you are interested, please sign up for this event. You can reach out to our coordinators Max or Gillian at max@treefolks.org or gillian@treefolks.org if you have any questions.
