Thank you for helping Complete the Trail.

When you run, walk or bike the east end of the Trail, please take a moment to notice the 179 new trees on Longhorn Shores just south of Longhorn Dam.  133 TTF volunteers gathered on Saturday, October 23^rd to plant the native Texas trees in celebration of Arbor Day. October is an optimal time for tree planting in Texas. 

TTF bought 154 of the trees, brought enthusiastic volunteers, and will install the irrigation that will get the trees through the first two summers and fully established.  Austin Energy bought 25 understory trees to create a living demonstration planting of native trees appropriate to plant under power lines.  And our hard-working partners at the Urban Forestry Program of the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) kept the trees watered, delivered the trees, brought the shovels, preaugered the holes and helped lead the groups of volunteers.

Our volunteers included groups from St. Edward's, UT, Del Valle and McCallum high schools, Austin Energy, Land Design Partners, Little Helping Hands, Austin Green Energy Group and more.

The pecans, chinquapin and Lacey oaks, sycamores, redbuds, Texas mountain laurels, Mexican buckeyes and other natives will grow to shade, beautify and diversify the Trail.
