For volunteer opportunities, please check out events marked with a blue ribbon! Don’t see any available dates? Our events open on a rolling basis, so check back at the beginning of each month!
No matter the weather, rain or snow, the TreeStore will be open!
Are you a resident of Charlotte? Do you need some trees for your yard? TreesCharlotte is hosting a free TreeStore. Each Charlotte household is eligible for up to two free trees. Proof of Charlotte residency (such as a driver’s license, utility bill, etc.) as well as a valid email address must be provided in order to participate. One of the missions of TreesCharlotte is to help the City of Charlotte and City Council reach their goal of 50% tree canopy by 2050. We therefore limit our efforts to expand the canopy within city limits and limit participation to Charlotte residents.
At the TreeStore, you will be trained on how to properly plant and care for your tree(s). Tree training is mandatory. You will then be asked to complete and sign a Stewardship Pledge Form with your home and email address (mandatory) and declare your pledge to take care of the tree(s) we provide.
This TreeStore will feature only large maturing trees. We cannot guarantee species type or quantities. Trees are 6-10′ tall, and will not be reserved or transported.
This is a first come, first served event as quantities are limited.
Volunteers and TreeMasters are needed to help move and distribute trees and mulch to participants.
We’d like to extend a special “Thank You” to SouthWood Corporation for being our event sponsor.
