What Drives Us

Our Core Values

Community Partnership

TreesCharlotte partners with the community at every level -- from individual residents to neighborhood associations -- to plant and care for trees across Charlotte.

Canopy for Everyone

We grow a healthier canopy for everyone -- not just parks and affluent areas, but every neighborhood and school in Charlotte that needs more green cover.

Education and Outreach

Through our Educational and Outreach Events, book clubs like "Between Two Oaks," and school programming, we build a culture of care around Charlotte's urban forest.

Generational Stewardship

We cultivate a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come -- planting trees today that will shade, clean, and inspire Charlotte for decades ahead.

How We Grew

The Mission Takes Root

TreesCharlotte was established to partner with Charlotte's community and grow a healthier urban canopy for everyone -- one tree, one neighborhood at a time.
