I work on my computer all day, so I love a chance to get outside, enjoy nature, and play sports (tennis, volleyball, flag football). Unfortunately, I don’t have a place to plant my own trees, but TreeFolks gives me a chance to support planting trees all across Austin!

I grew up loving being outside, and now my job involved supporting renewable energy projects as an environmental scientist. I love that supporting TreeFolks gives me the opportunity to reach out to the Austin community in particular, and TreeFolks is our reminder that even in this dynamic, urban city, the importance of the environment and environmental education surrounds us!

My goal is to promote conservation of natural resources, restore structure and function to degraded ecosystems and include the public in these activities as much as possible. Being involved with TreeFolks helps me connect with others that have similar interests while giving me an opportunity to give back to our community.

As a native Austinite, self-proclaimed tree hugger, and super-ultra-major admirer of our environment, I feel called to share the joy of our city’s abundant tree canopy. While having been a fan of TreeFolks since the age of seven, I am now currently serving as the organization’s Development Director and experiencing the abundant happiness that comes with caring for the planet!

One of the main reasons I fell in love with Austin was its green areas and lakes. I would love to continue contributing to the environment and this city to keep those green areas alive as well as helping plant more trees and encouraging more people to do so. TreeFolks is a perfect organization to help achieve this and thus improve our environment.

I’ve always loved being outdoors, immersing myself in nature. I’m grateful to have a job that takes me all over the state, exploring the many state parks that Texas has to offer. TreeFolks allows me to use my skills and give back on a local level.

I’m excited about bettering the Austin community through supporting TreeFolks’ mission of planting and caring for trees! I love any excuse to be outside and can’t think of a better use of that time than to work on caring for our environment.

TreeFolks was my gateway to volunteering outdoors in Austin. It was the first organization that showed me there’s nothing more motivating than getting outside with a goal to make this place a little better for everyone. At this point, I’ve experienced enough Texas heat to fully embrace the mission of planting and caring for our trees. Young Professionals is a chance to spread the word.
