An awards ceremony this Saturday honors the winners of Austin’s Tree of the Year awards with laser-cut wooden “cookies” made by Harvest Lumber Company. Community members and organizations nominated over 50 trees in five categories (small, large, schoolyard tree, tree with a story, and most unique tree) during the nomination period, which ran from June 1 to Sept. 30. Now the votes are in and organizers will announce Austin’s most beloved trees – as decided by the people who love them. Nov. 5 at 2:45 p.m., Dottie Jordan Park Tree & Pollinator Festival, 2803 Loyola Lane. Can’t make the ceremony? Check out the winners gallery online.
