ICYMI: Northwood Ravin Partners With TreesCharlotte For South TreeAdoption Event
Northwood Ravin recently joined forces with TreesCharlotte for an incredible day of environmental action, helping to preserve and expand Charlotte’s beloved urban forest! TreesCharlotte, a nonprofit dedicated to growing, diversifying, and protecting the city’s canopy, hosted a tree adoption event where more than 600 free trees were distributed to local residents. Volunteers not only helped make the event a success but also had the opportunity to take home trees of their own as a token of appreciation.
Among the diverse tree species planted were the pawpaw, bald cypress, tulip poplar, swamp white oak, sassafras, persimmon, and the stunning dawn redwood, each contributing to a healthier, more resilient environment.
But the urgency of TreesCharlotte’s mission has never been clearer. In 2022, Charlotte’s tree canopy covered 47.3% of the city’s land, but projections show a decline to 40% by 2050 if action isn’t taken. A study conducted by PlanIT Geo for the City of Charlotte and TreesCharlotte revealed a shocking loss—1,000 acres of tree canopy vanished in just four years, an area equivalent to the entire UNC Charlotte campus.
This event wasn’t just about planting trees—it was about protecting Charlotte’s future. With every tree planted, volunteers and residents played a role in fighting deforestation, improving air quality, and keeping the Queen City green for generations to come!
