Northwood Ravin Partners with TreesCharlotte for TreeDay Planting
CHARLOTTE – Northwood Ravin is once again partnering with TreesCharlotte as a Poplar planting season partner. TreesCharlotte is a Charlotte based non-profit dedicated to grow, diversify, steward, and educate about Charlotte’s trees and iconic urban forest.
As a Poplar planting season partner, Northwood Ravin will participate in a TreeDay planting where they will plant 68 trees at Long Creek Greenway. The Northwood Ravin team will also engage in a TreeWalk experience and a Lunch and Learn about the importance of the continued health and well-being of Charlotte’s tree canopy.
TreesCharlotte Executive Director Allison Rhodes said, “Our work would not be possible without the dedication and generosity of corporate partners like Northwood Ravin.”
47.3% of Charlotte’s land was covered with tree canopy in 2022, this number is expected to drop to 40% by 2050, TreesCharlotte is dedicated to preventing this devastation. In a study of the urban tree canopy conducted by PlanIT Geo for the City of Charlotte and TreesCharlotte, researchers found that in just four years Charlotte lost 1000-acres of canopy, the size of the UNC Charlotte campus.
Northwood Ravin is also working towards protecting Charlotte’s trees. One of their newest properties, The Sloan at LoSo, is in a tree-save area. The Sloan has more mature trees on site than any new project in all of South End or Lower South End.
“As our city faces potential canopy loss, the support Northwood Ravin offers is crucial for the protection of our beloved tree canopy,” said Rhodes. “We look forward to their hands-on volunteer commitment as well as the financial support they have extended for the past two planting seasons.”
