Bastrop County Community Reforestation Program

The Lost Pines fire in 2011 and the Hidden Pines Fire in 2015 burned over 34,000 acres of land, affecting thousands of private landowners and degrading the highly sensitive Houston Toad ecosystem. In just 5 years, TreeFolks planted over 2 million Loblolly Pine saplings as a way to mimic and speed up the natural reforestation process. To this day, TreeFolks continues to give free saplings and provide education services to affected landowners.
