Between Two Oaks
VIRTUAL SUMMER SPEAKING SERIES

Calling all tree nerds and nature enthusiasts! Join Urban Forest Educator and Arborist, Heather Brent, along with an exciting lineup of local experts, for TreesCharlotte’s new virtual summer speaker series, Between Two Oaks. Each session dives into a unique tree-inspired topic, blending science, art, history, and ecology while exploring fresh perspectives on Charlotte’s urban forest and beyond.
This summer’s lineup includes:

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 – Trees in Art with Mary Stewart
Thursday, July 9, 2026 – Do Trees Have Agency? with Dr. Jason Newton
Tuesday, August 4, 2026 – Keystone Trees and Soft Landings with Linda Nelson

Every event kicks off with an introduction from Heather Brent, followed by a presentation from the featured guest speaker, and a live audience Q&A. Registered participants will receive a virtual access link within 24 hours of each event. Whether you’re a lifelong arbor enthusiast or just tree-curious, this series promises thoughtful conversations, surprising insights, and a deeper appreciation for the roots of our urban landscape.

Tonight’s Special Guest: Linda Nelson
Discussion Topic: Everyone talks about planting pollinator gardens, but the real magic starts up in the trees. In this one‑hour presentation, you’ll discover how keystone trees fuel entire ecosystems and how soft landings turn ordinary yards into life-supporting landscapes.
Bio: Linda Nelson is an environmental advocate dedicated to promoting native plants, sustainable landscaping, and ecological education throughout the Charlotte region. As the founder and president of the Wild Ones Charlotte Piedmont Chapter, she has helped grow a community movement that encourages the use of native plants in the landscape to support pollinators, wildlife habitats, and biodiversity. Through this role, Linda has led educational programs, workshops, and public outreach initiatives across the North Carolina Piedmont, collaborating with gardening groups, conservation organizations, and local educators to expand awareness and inspire action. She is certified in Native Plant Studies from the UNCC Botanical Gardens and is a Certified Pollinator Steward from the Pollinator Partnership.
Linda owns Bee Good Garden Design, LLC, a landscape design business rooted in the same ecological principles she champions through her volunteer work. Her design approach emphasizes native gardening, pollinator support, wildlife habitat creation, and environmentally responsible landscaping practices. Through both her leadership and professional work, Linda continues to advance native plant awareness and grassroots environmental stewardship, helping homeowners and communities create landscapes that are not only beautiful but ecologically meaningful.

TreeMaster & TreeKeeper Classroom Training Fall 2026
2026-09-17 17:30 - 19:30 | NC
We will be hosting our TreeMaster and TreeKeeper classroom course on the evening of Thursday, September 17th. Anyone is welcome to join in if they are interested in becoming one of our amazing lead volunteers. TreeMaster class 5:30 pm-6:30 pm and TreeKeeper class 6:30 pm-7:30 pm.
For any TreeMasters who would like to train as a TreeKeeper, we invite you to join us from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm (directly following the TreeMaster training) for the TreeKeeper classroom training session.
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 TreeAdoptions throughout Charlotte. They help with event setup, tree and mulch placement, volunteer engagement, and event breakdown.
TreeKeepers join us on at our TreeCare events to help steward previously planted trees by providing pruning, mulching, stake removal, and other general tree care. TreeKeepers may come to an event with volunteers or they may join our arborist on a site visit to conduct light pruning.
How do I become a TreeMaster or TreeKeeper?
Anybody interested should attend this 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 opportunities to put their knowledge into action by serving as volunteer leaders. The tree planting and care season in Charlotte runs from October to early April.
TreeMaster Training Planting
Following the training, graduates will be provided an opportunity to get hands-on experience with tree planting on the morning of Saturday, September 19th, at Realta HOA. This add-on training session is not required but strongly encouraged. For those who cannot make this planting, we will have you pair up with a seasoned TreeMaster during your first planting with us to receive additional field training.
TreeKeeper Field Training
TreeKeeper classroom graduates will be provided with an opportunity to get hands-on experience with a tree care event on the morning of Friday, September 18th, at Long Creek Greenway – Oak Hill. This add-on training session is not required but strongly encouraged. For those who cannot make this tree care field training event, we will have you pair up with a seasoned TreeKeeper during your first tree care event with us to receive additional training.
What is the time commitment?
TreeMasters and TreeKeepers are asked to commit to volunteer at a minimum of 3 regularly scheduled tree planting/adoption events annually (each about 5 hours).
