David Weekley Homes Partners with Treefolks to Plant 1,100 Trees

Austin, TX (January 31, 2017): David Weekley Homes recently partnered with TreeFolks to help plant loblolly pine trees in Bastrop. Approximately 30 Austin team members, friends and family were on hand to assist the organization with planting 1,100 pine seedlings.

This is the third time the home builder has worked with TreeFolks, starting in 2014 to help replace 34,000 acres of Lost Pines that were destroyed in the wild fires in 2011. Shortly after the fire, TreeFolks committed to help Bastrop County and the Texas A&M Forest Service reestablish the forest on private land by planting two million seedlings over five years at no cost to landowners. The Austin team helped plant 1,100 seedlings through their efforts in 2016.

The partnership is an initiative of the company’s CARE program, which is a charitable and volunteer program that joins together David Weekley team members, homebuyers, homeowners and community partners, to live out the builders’ purpose of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives. Through the volunteer and philanthropic efforts of the CARE program, the David Weekley team is committed, active and responsible for enhancing lives in communities in which they work and live. For more than 20 years, The David Weekley Family Foundation has given more than $100 million to deserving nonprofits nationwide and abroad.
