Super Volunteers Advanced Training: Tree Care at Rosedale School

Treefolks and AISD will complete some much-needed TLC on trees at the Rosedale School campus. Sign up for an opportunity to learn about young tree care with Austin ISD’s Urban Forester, Sydnie Levell. She will discuss topics such as pruning, root collar excavation, proper mulching, and watering.

Come see the newly built Rosedale School that supports families whose children have severe special needs. The Rosedale School offers one simple message: Your child is welcome here. Let’s support the Rosedale staff and students by ensuring they have healthy and happy trees!

This is a hands-on training opportunity, and we will be working outside. TreeFolks will provide all materials needed including gloves, tools, water, and snacks. Please bring a water bottle, dress for working outdoors, and take breaks when needed!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Gillian: volunteer@treefolks.org, (512) 761-8738 cell
