About us
Calling all young professionals (21-40ish) looking to make an impact on our environment and future through planting, caring for, and giving away free trees in Central Texas!
Whether you care about climate change, reducing flooding and pollution, beautifying our neighborhoods, or providing shade during hot summers,
TreeFolks Young Professionals has you covered.
Catch you at an event and/or take your involvement to the next level by becoming a member with an annual donation to TreeFolks!
Note: Our Meetup.com RSVP count is low compared to our actual attendance because folks follow our events via Instagram (@treefolks_yp), our email list, and through being supporting members. Regardless of RSVP count, there will be more people there, so come on out to make some new friends and support our urban forest!

❓FAQs:
Wait isn't the actual summer solstice on the 20th?
We wanted to celebrate while as many people as possible could join us! Since June 20th falls on a weekend when many folks are traveling and June 19th is Juneteenth, we picked June 18th for the party. The days are still long and hopefully sunny!
What happens if there’s rain?
While our event is hosted outside, if there is rain, we have the option to move inside/under the patio at Hold Out Brewing. The event will continue unless we get any report of dangerous weather.
