We’re excited to go back to our normal event format, which includes an in-person planting demonstration and tree education, a core mission of TreesCharlotte!
Thanks to the generosity of Bank of America, TreesCharlotte is excited to bring our Zip Code TreeAdoption event to the Steele Creek area. We invite residents living in zip codes 28217, 28273, and 28278 to come on out and get some trees at the Steele Creek Athletic Association. To ensure the event runs smoothly please read the details below carefully.
