Equinox Tree Planting


Saturday, March 22
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Join FLWR to plant 33 new trees and shrubs around Willowbrook Reach! We’ll be planting yaupons, mountain laurels, Mexican plums, bur oaks, pecans and many others.

Want to know the best part? You’ll be contributing to the future of this city and neighborhood as a green, healthy place to live, and there will be NO DIGGING!

HOW IT WILL WORK
  • Austin Parks & Recreation will dig the holes for the trees using their fancy machines
  • We will place the trees in the holes, fill the holes with soil and cover them with mulch. Easy as pie.
  • Meet at the corner of Sycamore and Half Penny
WHAT TO BRING
  • Shovels and gloves
  • Trucks – If you have a pick-up truck, please bring it! We need trucks to cart trees and mulch around the park
WATERING

Watering the trees will help them survive the upcoming harsh summer months. We’re looking for neighbors of the Reach, anyone who lives on E 40th, Sycamore, Willowbrook or Cherrywood, to volunteer to water new trees in front of their houses. Please let us know if you can help!
