TreesCharlotte is heading to Charles H. Parker Academic Center to provide care for the trees in their school grounds’ canopies. TreesCharlotte periodically returns to previous planting sites to ensure that the trees continue to thrive by providing pruning, mulching, and some invasive mitigation as needed. Stewardship events are vital to our mission of expanding Charlotte’s tree canopy.
We are currently recruiting 5 TreeKeepers for this event. TreeKeepers, please register here. While we love our volunteers, this event is currently being held for a private sponsorship.
Events are held rain or shine. Details of the event will be emailed to registered volunteers the week of the event.

Residents from the following municipalities are welcome to sign up:

Cornelius
Davidson
Huntersville
Matthews
Mint Hill
Pineville
Stallings

We’ll have a mix of species, from small flowering to canopy building to evergreen screening. There’s something for everybody. TreeAdoptions gives priority to those living in targeted areas in Mecklenburg County. Those residents are invited to early registration 2 weeks before the adoption.
A link to register for trees will be added here on Monday, February 26th.
