  • How Green Is Austin, Really?

    How Green Is Austin, Really?
    May 12 2025
    According to recent reports, Austin’s tree canopy is something to be proud of — but only if you don’t zoom in. Locally, there’s a big difference between the concentration of lush shade trees on the West Side of town and those in East Austin, and some in town are trying to change that. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by TreeFolks’ Executive Director Andrew W. Smiley to talk about Austin’s latest Tree Canopy Report, how our canopy compares to those in other cities across the country, and why it matters. Plus, they discuss the Ashe Juniper and why one state lawmaker is trying to make it easier to cut them down, and why now’s the time to nominate your favorite tree in town for the Tree of the Year awards.
