Tree ID for Seed Savers in Bastrop

This is not a volunteer opportunity; it is an educational event.

Have you been wondering what kind of tree is growing in your yard? Maybe you want to learn a fun new skill? Well, you’re in luck, because the Central Texas Seed Savers and TreeFolks are partnering with the Pines & Prairies Land Trust to lead a Tree ID lesson in their beautiful Colorado River Refuge!

You will learn how to identify native trees and how to safely and ethically collect seeds to donate to the TreeFolks Seeds To Trees Native Nursery.

We will meet at the Bastrop County Nature Park and walk into the preserve together.

Pines and Prairies Land Trust is a non-profit land conservation organization dedicated to preserving and safeguarding vital natural areas in Central Texas. Founded in 2001, our mission is to protect open space through land conservation, stewardship and community engagement.

The Central Texas Seed Savers is a growing network of people who love seeds with the mission of preventing the extinction of ecologically and culinarily important plants in the Central Texas Region.

TreeFolks was founded as Austin’s Urban Forestry non-profit in 1989. Since then, TreeFolks has grown to work with communities throughout Central Texas in community tree planting, tree giveaways, education and urban-wildland reforestation efforts. Our mission is to empower Central Texans to build stronger communities through planting and caring for trees.
