On Friday, TreeFolks planted 1,700 trees at File Mile Dam as part of their pilot project to reforest the Blanco River following the Memorial Day and Oct. 30 floods. On Friday, they planted various trees including cypress, palmetto, burr oak and buckthorn trees. TreeFolks plans to eventually reforest 60 miles of the Blanco River. (photo by Moses Leos III)
