First Timers Eastside Zipcode TreeAdoption: 28205, 28212, 28215, 28227
December 11, 2021, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
We’re excited to go back to our normal event format, which includes an in-person planting demonstration and tree education, a core mission of TreesCharlotte!
Whether you’re new to Charlotte or new to TreesCharlotte, we have a special invitation just for you. We are hosting a First-Timers TreeAdoption simultaneously with the East Zipcode TreeAdoption at TreesCharlotte, where we’re giving away 100 trees to Charlotte residents who’ve never participated in our TreeAdoptions before! If you’re a TreesCharlotte first-timer, you can take home up to two FREE trees! What a terrific way to get started on what promises to be a wonderful tree journey in the Queen City.

TreesCharlotte is a non-profit organization that relies on donations to be able to host events like this. Donations are greatly appreciated and help us give more trees to Charlotte residents. If interested please click HERE.
The trees below will hopefully be available. All species are subject to change. Quantities are limited. Register early to ensure the best selection.
