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!
Thanks to the generous support of MetLife, TreesCharlotte is excited to bring our Zip Code TreeAdoption event to the South Charlotte area. We invite residents living in zip codes 28226, 28270, and 28277 to come on out and get some trees at Jay M Robinson Middle School.
To ensure the event runs smoothly please read the details below carefully: 
Here’s what you need to know:
