Upon completion of the certification course, graduates will be provided opportunities to put their knowledge into action by serving as volunteer leaders. The tree planting season in Charlotte runs from October to early April.
Training Planting
Following the training, graduates will be provided an opportunity to get hands-on experience with a tree planting on the morning of September 16th. This add-on training session is not required but strongly encouraged.

TreesCharlotte is excited to celebrate Giving Tuesday with a unique TreeAdoption . We invite Charlotte residents to partake in our special Giving Tuesday Native-TreesAdoption. For this event, our tree species selection are exclusively North Carolina natives! They will be 3-gallon in size.
Our Giving Tuesday Tree Adoption is a donation-based event where your generosity can make a meaningful impact. While tree adoptions are open to all Charlotte residents, we welcome optional donations to support our critical canopy initiatives. Every donation, regardless of the amount, contributes significantly to the growth and sustainability of Charlotte’s urban forest. Click here to donate.

A link to register for trees will be added here on Monday, November 20th at 10am.
