Help plant a creek

TreeFolks is putting out the call for volunteers to help plant saplings at the nonprofit’s first Ready, Set, Plant event of the season this Saturday, Nov. 5. The event, at Bayton Loop in South Austin, aims to “transform degraded creek banks into grow zones brimming with diversity and life.” Staffers from the city’s Watershed Protection Department and Community Tree Preservation Division will also be there to lend a hand. Ready, Set, Plant is a volunteer tree-planting program that runs from November to February, and aims to restore Austin’s creeks and rivers with creekside plantings.
