About us
Known as “The City of Trees,” Charlotte has a wonderful foundation for achieving manageable canopy goals. However, a detailed analysis shows we must take a more aggressive approach to ensure the continued health and well-being of our tree canopy, and we must actively plant thousands of trees to account for growth and development in our city and around the region.

Every tree we plant, care for, and give away represents the start of something that will leave a legacy. For Giving Tuesday on December 3, consider giving back to the trees that give so much. Each gift—no matter the size—directly impacts our programs and helps us plant the seeds for a greener tomorrow. For as little as $10, you can pay for the cost of watering-in a tree. $25 mulches five trees, and $50 covers the cost of one tree from our growers. Get ready to give health, play, beauty, and new beginnings by donating at https://lnkd.in/g94mkUA6

#DYK Did you know that trees encourage better driving? 🌳 Tree-lined streets have fewer occurrences of speeding, road rage, and accidents as trees can help drivers feel more relaxed and less frustrated. 🌳 A 2006 study found that using trees to line roadways could decrease average speeds by 8 mph due to the roads appearing narrower. 🌳 The visual wall created by trees can help keep drivers on the road and in their lane. 🌳 Trees as roadside features can reduce the number of mid-block crashes by 5% to 20%, as well as reduce the chances of head-on crashes when they're placed in the median.

Meet November's Tree of the Month, the yaupon holly! This small tree is native to the southeastern US. They are easy to grow, disease-free, and drought-tolerant: a top choice for landscaping! Learn some more facts below: 🌲Yaupon holly is used today to make tea, and it is the only plant native to North America that contains caffeine. 🌲Yaupon holly trees are dioecious, meaning the tree has separate male and female plants. Only the female plants make fruit. 🌲There are many places in North Carolina named after the tree, including Yaupon Beach, Yaupon Creek, Yaupon Hammock gut, and Yaupon Hill. 📸: gardensoftheworld.com, ujamaaseeds.com, ncsu.edu
