City-wide TreeStore – Fall 2016
November 5, 2016, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Are you a resident of the City of Charlotte? Do you need some trees for your yard? TreesCharlotte is hosting a free TreeStore. Proof of Charlotte residency as well as a valid email address must be provided in order to participate.
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.
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.
