Native trees benefit all of us
Wednesday, September 8, 2021 by Tai Moses
On the next Wild Neighbors webinar, the staff of Balcones Canyonlands Preserve have invited Andreina Alexatos of TreeFolks to talk about the benefits of native trees and offer some tips for selecting the right trees for your yard. Trees provide endless ecosystem values, from habitat and food for wildlife and shade, to beauty and lower energy bills for humans, to cleaner air and water for all. Tree planting season is around the corner in Central Texas and there’s no time like the present to start making your fall planting plans. Friday, Sept. 24, noon to 1 p.m. Register for the webinar here.
