What we’re about
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!

Join the TreeFolks Young Professionals for an exciting evening at Barton Springs!
We'll start with a tree identification walk around the south side of Barton Springs/Zilker where we'll learn about different tree species. Afterwards, we'll head into Barton Springs for a sunset swim to cool off.
