POSTPONED: Mallard Creek High School TreeDay
2020-03-21 09:30 - 11:30 | Mallard Creek High School, 3825 Johnston Oelher road, Charlotte, NC, 28269
Thanks to our partnership with LendingTree, Charlotte 2020 Host Committee and 2020 Convention Planners, TreesCharlotte will be planting approximately 200 trees on the campus of Mallard Creek High School.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable event, we are limiting the number of volunteers to 200 for this TreeDay. Register early as our events “sell out” quickly. 10 spots remain.
Volunteer groups of 10 or more, please contact events director, Zack Agerton to determine if there is enough capacity.
Tree planting events are great for families and all ages are welcome. To ensure accurate active volunteer counts, please list all participants on the registration form, along with children’s ages. Children 16 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
TreesCharlotte is excited to partner with CupLux Coffee to provide our volunteers with delicious, handcrafted coffee at our events.
Events are held rain or shine. A modest rainfall actually provides ideal planting conditions.
Deadline to register to volunteer is Sunday, March 15.
Once registered, more detailed information will be emailed to you the week of the event.
We are still looking for a few more TreeMasters to help with this event!

POSTPONED:Stewardship at Paw Creek Elementary
2020-03-25 10:00 - 12:00 | Paw Creek Elementary, 1300 Cathey Road, Charlotte, NC, 28214, United States
For this Workday Wednesday, TreesCharlotte is returning to the campus of Paw Creek Elementary to do routine maintenance on the trees planted in the Spring, 2018. TreesCharlotte periodically returns to school campuses to ensure that the trees we previously planted continue to thrive. 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.
