Tree Care at Graham Elementary
May 31 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Volunteer with TreeFolks for a Tree Care work day at Graham Elementary!
TreeFolks planted 50 native trees at this site in North Austin in March 2023 as part of a project to increase urban canopy equity. Austin has experienced a 25% reduction in tree canopy cover over the past 30 years due to rapid urban growth, which is disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities in the eastern crescent of the city. Tree mulching is needed to help retain moisture around roots, prevent weed growth, and protect the trees from extreme temperatures.
TreeFolks will provide all necessary materials, including gloves, tools, water, and snacks. Please bring a water bottle, dress for working outdoors, and take breaks when necessary! RSVP here.
If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with Gillian: volunteer@treefolks.org, (512) 761-8738 cell
