Season Opening Citywide TreeAdoption - SOLD OUT
2021-09-25 09:00 - 12:00 | City of Charlotte Landscape Management, 701 Tuckaseegee Road, Charlotte, NC, 28208, United States
Fall is a wonderful time of year to add the beauty and health of trees to your yard. Lucky for you, we’re giving plenty of trees away at our Opening Day City-wide TreeAdoption!
We’ll have a big mix of species, from small flowering to canopy building to evergreen screening. There’s something for everybody. We thank One Tree Planted for helping to sponsor this TreeAdoption.
Did you know that fall is the best time to plant a tree? Fall gives your new tree several months of cooler weather so that it can concentrate on root establishment rather than leaf production. And, the fall and winter tend to be rainy – nature’s tree watering system.

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 TreeAdoptions 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 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. Once you register, you will be sent the link to the online course the week of the event.
What is the time commitment?
