Green Organizations

PLANT. GROW. LEARN.

Our mission at TreeFolks is to empower Central Texans to build stronger and greener communities by planting and caring for trees.

We’ve already engaged thousands of volunteers to plant more than 2.5 million trees in Central Texas, and we invite you to join us in creating a healthier environment and enhancing our quality of life.

COMMUNITY BUILDING

WISE is a group devoted to planning and facilitating sport, outdoor and creative networking activities for Portland-area women who work in the sustainability and environmental fields.

We plan fun and adventurous activities like whitewater rafting, wine tasting, cooking, snowshoeing…think Portland’s 21st century version of the golf course, but for women.
