TreeMaster/TreeAmbassador Certification Course, Sept. 2020
2020-09-10 18:00 - 19:30 | Virtual via Zoom
What is a TreeMaster?
A TreeMaster is a volunteer who has received training on volunteer management, proper planting techniques and care and maintenance of trees. TreeMasters serve as volunteer leaders at our planting events and TreeStores throughout Charlotte. They help with event setup, tree and mulch placement, volunteer engagement, and event breakdown.
What is a TreeAmbassador?
TreeAmbassadors represent TreesCharlotte at various outreach events. 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!
Can I be both?
Yes!
How do I become a TreeMaster and/or TreeAmbassador?
Anybody 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.
What is the time commitment?
TreeMasters 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).
How do I sign up?

Final Season Ending Citywide Drive-thru TreeStore
2020-05-28 17:00 - 18:00 | City of Charlotte Landscape Management, 701 Tuckaseegee Road, Charlotte, NC, 28208, United States
Thank you to the many Charlotteans that have registered to get trees. Registration is now closed. We will see you again in late September.
This is it. Our final Season End Citywide Drive-thru TreeStore. We have a limited number of large maturing trees that are in need of new homes.
We want to thank our partnership with Duke Energy/Piedmont Natural Gas as well as Lending Tree, the Charlotte 2020 Host Committee and the 2020 Convention Planners for making this event possible.
To ensure the event follows social distancing guidelines, some details are different from our typical TreeStores, so read carefully:
Here’s what you need to know:

You must pre-register for trees. Registration opens Sunday, May 24 and closes at midnight Tuesday, May 26. Scroll down to below the list of species for the link.
Each Charlotte address/household can get up to 3 trees.
Trees will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Please do research ahead of time to know which trees will work best for your yard. Links are provided below to learn more about the trees. We will not be able to answer any tree related questions at the event.
This TreeStore will be drive-thru only to limit personal contact. You will be expected to load your own trees and mulch. Neighbors are encouraged to work together to pick up multiple orders with one vehicle.
About the trees: The trees are in 7-gallon containers, measure 6-15 feet tall and weigh about 20-25 pounds. The mulch weighs 25 pounds/bag. As you’ll see below, you have 10 species to choose from. Links are provided to learn more about each species; please do your homework first to ensure you’re putting the right tree in the right place.
Important note: TreesCharlotte typically does not distribute trees this late in the spring – newly planted trees fare better when there’s cooler weather ahead. We hope that with your love and care, they will flourish once planted. But if they don’t, we’ll be back in the fall with more TreeStores!
TreesCharlotte will send a follow-up email with planting instructions – including a planting video – watering instructions and specific information about the species you select.
TreesCharlotte’s mission is to help the City of Charlotte reach its goal of 50% tree canopy by 2050. We, therefore, limit participation to residents within Charlotte city limits. At this time, we do not serve Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Huntersville, Davidson, Cornelius, Mecklenburg County or other municipalities outside Charlotte.

TreesCharlotte is a non-profit organization that relies on donations to be able to host events like this. A suggested donation of $10/tree is greatly appreciated and would help us give more trees to Charlotte residents.
The following trees will be given out on a first come, first served basis (registration link below opens May 24).
Be sure to research which tree will work best for your yard. We will not be able to answer any questions at the event.

Stewardship events are vital to our mission of expanding Charlotte’s tree canopy.
We love our volunteers, however, general volunteers are not needed for this event. Please check the events calendar for other opportunities highlighted in blue.
We are in need of 2-3 TreeMasters to help direct volunteers. Learn more about the TreeMaster program here.
