SUMMARY:The Go Big TreeStore
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to building canopy\, the bigger the better. Which is why we’re ending our season in a BIG way: A final everything-must-go\, clearance blowout of Oaks\, Chinese Chestnuts\, Beeches and Elms on Tuesday\, March 19\, 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. at TreesCharlotte Headquarters. \nThese canopy champions are some of TreesCharlotte’s favorites. They do amazing work cleaning our air and water\, providing shade and welcoming wildlife. If you’re ready to make a big impact on Charlotte’s urban forest\, this is your chance! \nBecause this is our season ender\, we’re letting every shopper take home up to 3 trees! Yes\, that’s 3 FREE trees! It’s like a Buy 1 Free Tree\, Get 2 Free. And they’re free! \nThe fine print: \n\n Three trees per address.\nTreesCharlotte’s mission is to help the City of Charlotte reach their goal of 50% tree canopy by 2050.  We therefore limit our efforts to expand the canopy within Charlotte’s city limits and limit participation to Charlotte residents only (unfortunately\, we do not serve Matthews\, Mint Hill\, Pineville\, Huntersville\, Davidson\, Cornelius\, other municipalities outside Charlotte\, or Mecklenburg County).\nProof of Charlotte residency (such as a driver’s license\, utility bill\, etc.) must be shown at the event in order to participate.\nYou will complete and sign a Stewardship Pledge Form (mandatory) and declare your pledge to take care of the tree(s) we provide.\nAt the TreeStore\, you will be taught how to properly plant and care for your tree(s).  Tree education is mandatory for everyone.\nWe cannot guarantee species type or quantities.\nTrees are in 7-gallon containers\, range from 6-10′ tall\, and will not be reserved or transported.\n\nAre you ready to show some Big Tree Love? No pre-registration for this TreeStore – just show up on Tuesday! \n\nWe’re looking for a few TreeMasters to help.

Deadline to register is March 5.  \nPre-registration does not guarantee you trees or tree varieties\, however\, it does get you a sneak peak (via email a few days before the event) of the varieties we hope to offer. \nWe expect to give out close to 800 trees on a first come\, first served basis. Expect long lines as this will be a popular event. \nClick Here to Register for Trees \nThank you to everyone that has signed up\, we now have plenty of TreeMaster help.  Sign-ups for this event are limited to TreeMasters.  Click here to learn more about the TreeMaster program.
