The tree planting season in Charlotte runs from October to early April. Outreach events are year-round. Once you register, you will be sent the link to the online training a week prior to the event.
Training Planting
Following the training graduates will be provided with an opportunity to get hands-on experience with a tree planting on the morning of September 17th. This add-on training session is not required but strongly encouraged. A link to register for the planting will be provided to those who attend the online training.
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).
