Walk the grounds with a tree expert from Austin's very own TreeFolks and learn how to identify tree species!
Have you been wondering what kind of tree is growing in your yard? Maybe you want to learn a fun new skill? Well, you’re in luck because the Central Texas Seed Savers and TreeFolks are coming to the Elisabet Ney Museum to lead a Tree ID lesson to help you learn a little more about what’s growing around you!
You will learn how to identify native trees and how to safely and ethically collect seeds to donate to the TreeFolks Seeds To Trees Native Nursery. (www.treefolks.org/nursery/)
Meet your walk leader at on the north side of the Elisabeth Ney in the pecan grove next to Ave G. Free parking is available on the street, but please don't park north of 44th street on Ave H.
The Central Texas Seed Savers (www.centexseedsavers.org/about) is a growing network of people who love seeds with the mission of preventing the extinction of ecologically and culinarily important plants in the Central Texas Region.
TreeFolks was founded as Austin’s Urban Forestry non-profit in 1989. Since then, TreeFolks has grown to work with communities throughout Central Texas in community tree planting, tree giveaways, education, and urban wildland reforestation efforts. Our mission is to empower Central Texans to build stronger communities through planting and caring for trees.
