Tree Management

Protecting, Maintaining and Growing Charlotte's Tree Canopy

We, the City of Charlotte and our partner organizations, care about our tree canopy and the value it provides to our collective health, environment, economy and city beautification. That is why we are proudly known as the City of Trees. Learn more about us!

You Could be Eligible for a FREE Street Tree!

The city's goal is to plant 800 street trees this year. Our Street Tree Planting Program gives residents the opportunity to request a FREE street tree in your property's right-of-way or planting strip (the strip of grass between the sidewalk in front of your home and street). The city handles all planting, watering, pruning and ongoing care.
