Thank you! We are TreeFolks, a nonprofit in Austin, TX. We started over 35 years ago with four friends who wanted to plant trees to fight deforestation. 3+ million trees, we continue providing free trees for households, planting trees in riparian areas, and fighting canopy inequity.

Tom Spencer will always be a legend.

He was such a remarkable person and so kind! He was the legendary host of Central Texas Gardner on PBS.

You will be greatly missed Tom.
Rest in peace. πŸͺ¦ 🌸

Austin plans to reduce urban heat by using $35 million to plant 400,000 trees Heat is not equitable. Austin’s eastern crescent is hotter than other areas of the city and one busy intersection soaks up more sun than any other.

TreeFolks is planting 400K trees to reduce urban heat in Austin. Thanks to CBS Austin for sharing our efforts! https://bit.ly/TF-CBS-UrbanHeat
