The Roots & Wings Festival has the entire city of Austin awash in environmental events – tree climbing, butterfly tagging, garden tours, nature-themed craftings – as local neighborhoods unite to celebrate the plants and pollinators among us. Run by Austin Climate Action & Resilience, the celebration is designed to expose people to the wonders (and benefits) of the natural world. Visit the fest website for an extensive list of outdoorsy happenings, from a butterfly party in Zilker to a glow-in-the-dark fungi extravaganza at Circle Acres Nature Preserve. Let your curiosity take flight! – Medha Sarin
