Ready, Set, Plant! at Onion Creek Metro Park
February 24 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join TreeFolks and our community partners for a seedling planting at Onion Creek Metro Park, 5601 Katydid Ln, Austin, TX 78744. 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. Some of the benefits of creekside planting include cooler water for aquatic life, erosion control, and filtering of pollutants from stormwater. Our events are family-friendly and provide an opportunity for community members to connect with Austin’s public lands.
