Ready, Set, Plant! Sapling Planting at Dottie Jordan Park

Ready, Set, Plant! is a partnership between the City of Austin Urban Forestry Division, City of Austin Watershed Protection and TreeFolks to plant small tree seedlings that will not require irrigation. Planting saplings will enable us to restore native tree and shrub diversity during drought as well as retain water and improve water quality in Austin’s waterways.

We will be planting these saplings to help lessen water runoff and improve water quality in Austin’s creeks. We will talk a little about the site’s history, discuss the importance of urban forest stewardship and riparian planting and explain how these plantings will help the waterways of Austin thrive.

You should wear long pants and closed toe shoes as we will be working in areas with tall vegetation along the creek. Bring a water bottle, hat and sunscreen and dress appropriately for the weather. Water, coffee, light refreshments, gloves and tools will be provided. Please consider signing up for more than one sapling planting.
