SUMMARY:TreeMaster/TreeAmbassador Certification Course\, Sept. 2020

They are enthusiastic about TreesCharlotte and can deliver a positive and clear message about our mission. Candidates should be comfortable both talking to an audience and listening to their comments and concerns. It will be your job to help educate the public about our beautiful canopy\, the risks facing it and how everybody can help protect it. Typical events include manning a table at festivals or speaking in front of a school class. As public-facing opportunities arise\, we will equip you with an event box complete with key facts\, fun stuff to give away\, important literature and whatever else is required! \nCan I be both? \nYes! \nHow do I become a TreeMaster and/or TreeAmbassador? \nAnybody interested must attend this free online workshop\, featuring the history of TreesCharlotte\, our planting practices\, and a Q&A.  Training is suited for all levels of arboriculture knowledge.  Upon completion of the certification course\, graduates will be provided with opportunities to put their knowledge into action by serving as volunteer leaders.  The tree planting season in Charlotte runs from October to early April. Outreach events are year-round. If you register\, you will be sent the link to the online course the week of the event.  \nWhat is the time commitment? \nTreeMasters are asked to commit to volunteer at a minimum of 3 regularly scheduled tree planting events annually (each about 5 hours).TreeAmbassadors are asked to volunteer at a minimum of 3 outreach events annually (each about 3 hours). \nHow do I sign up? \nYou must be at least 18 years of age and register by completing the application below.  Deadline to register is 11:59 p.m.\, Sept. 9.

SUMMARY:TreeMaster Refresher TreeDay
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to our official TreeMaster sponsor\, \nthe Charlotte office of \n \nTreeMasters: Are. You. Reeeaaaddddyyy??!!! \nThe TreesCharlotte team is pumped to get our 8th planting season underway\, and we have a packed calendar. We have some new moves\, and one of them is just for you: A planting solely for TreeMasters to kick off the season. The team here thought it would be both fun and instructive to gather before the season to share some updates from the summer\, talk about the upcoming season (and how your leadership will be needed more than ever) and get some refresher planting and mulching training from Frank and Erin. \nAfter we all reconnect (with doughnuts and coffee\, of course)\, we’ll plant about 50 trees together – just the TC team\, experts from Bartlett and you\, the TreeMasters! \nThe fun begins at 9 am\, at Berryhill Elementary in west Charlotte\, a sweet little school tucked in the woods beside Lake Wylie. To make this event even more notable\, this planting will mark our 50th school. Wow!!! \nWe hope you are as excited and ready to don those orange hats as we are. If you can make it\, sign up below. If not\, we’ll catch you at an upcoming event!
