TreesCharlotte is excited to celebrate Giving Tuesday with a unique TreeAdoption . We invite Charlotte residents to partake in our special Giving Tuesday Native-TreesAdoption. For this event, our tree species selection are exclusively North Carolina natives! They will be 3-gallon in size.

Our Giving Tuesday Tree Adoption is a donation-based event where your generosity can make a meaningful impact. While tree adoptions are open to all Charlotte residents, we welcome optional donations to support our critical canopy initiatives. Every donation, regardless of the amount, contributes significantly to the growth and sustainability of Charlotte’s urban forest. Click here to donate.

A link to register for trees will be added here on Monday, November 20th at 10am.
