Treaty Oak Project

The Treaty Oak tree is located on Baylor Street between 5th Street and 6th Street. Because of the Treaty Oak has a long and colorful history, the Treaty Oak Project began in 1991, about two years after the tree was poisoned.

The City of Austin's Urban Forestry Board determined that any process undertaken with the Treaty Oak in the future should be based on one of the following: memorialization, education or fundraising. Fundraising proceeds, they determined, should be used to plant additional trees in public areas of Austin through the Planting For The Future Fund. City staff has attempted to integrate the three mandates of the Urban Forestry Board during the course of the project.

The park hours are from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. The small live oak next to it is a clone of the Treaty Oak.
