Registration details

Registrations are limited to residents living in Mint Hill, Matthews, and Pineville. Registered addresses outside Mint Hill, Matthews, and Pineville will be automatically canceled.
The list of trees below are expected from our growers. In case they are not of the quality we demand, we reserve the right to substitute with a similar species.
Reselling TreesCharlotte trees or using them for profit is prohibited and will result in a ban from future TreesCharlotte events and adoptions.
All attendees are required to go through a planting demonstration at the adoption. This is a requirement for all participants, even if you have adopted trees or planted trees with us previously.
Plan for at least 45 minutes to receive your trees during the adoption.
If you are picking up trees on behalf of a neighbor or friend, bring a copy of their registration with you to the event.
Any Mecklenburg residents who have previously adopted more than 20 trees through our TreeAdoption events are no longer eligible to participate.

Rooted & Reading Book Club Social: "Nature's Best Hope"
2026-03-26 18:00 - 20:00 | NC
Join us for a relaxed book club social celebrating nature, trees, and the environment . We’ll gather to discuss eco-inspired reads, share ideas about conservation and community action, and enjoy good conversation in a welcoming, laid-back setting. Whether you’re a seasoned environmentalist or just curious about greener living, come connect with fellow readers who care about the natural world.

Name of the book: Nature’s Best Hope: Doug Tallamy’s Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard
Social Date: March 26th, 6pm at Petty Thieves Brewing Co.
Click Here To Register
Quick Synopsis: Nature’s Best Hope presents a hopeful, action-oriented approach to conservation, arguing that reversing biodiversity loss doesn’t only depend on large parks or government policies, but on everyday people transforming their own yards into wildlife-supporting habitats. Tallamy explains why native plants matter for insects, birds, and entire ecosystems, and gives practical steps for homeowners to replace lawns with native species and create interconnected ecological corridors he calls a “Homegrown National Park.” His message is that ordinary landscapes, collectively managed, can help sustain nature and combat environmental decline.
