TreesCharlotte

TreesCharlotte is a public/private nonprofit collaboration to grow, diversify and steward the city’s iconic urban forest. Trained volunteers and science-based programs teach residents about the value of trees, how to plant and care for them. Charlotte is known as “The City of Trees” thanks to our city’s remarkable tree canopy. TreesCharlotte actively plants and gives away trees to ensure the continued health and well-being of our canopy and to account for on-going growth and development in our city. Trees clean our air, reduce stormwater run-off, cool our streets, reduce energy usage in our homes, increase property values, and give us beauty. TreesCharlotte’s vision is 50% canopy coverage, city-wide acceptance of responsibility to plant and care for trees with sustained funding to continue the mission from generation to generation.

Here’s how you can help us continue to grow and preserve Charlotte’s precious tree canopy:
