COMMUNITY TREE PLANTING

DLC’s Community Tree Planting Team preserves and restores our tree canopy. Trees play a vital role in maintaining the health of our environment by:

  • Cleaning our air (filtering and absorbing carbon dioxide)

  • Reducing storm water run-off (carrying pollutants like pesticides and fertilizers to new areas)

  • Cooling our streets and homes without energy use

Trees also increase home values. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, large trees can increase your home’s value by 3 to 15%. And oh yes – they are beautiful, complex organisms that adapt and change before our eyes!

In addition to planting trees in the community, Davidson Lands Conservancy is working with the Town of Davidson to better manage our tree canopy. These efforts include:

  • Supporting the Town’s Tree Ordinance to protect trees with historical and heritage value

  • Updating the Town’s street tree inventory

  • Working with local property owners to improve our tree canopy

Our trees are an important asset to the health and well being of our town. Every mature tree we lose takes years to replace. Davidson Lands Conservancy’s Community Tree Planting program protects and grows our local tree canopy for future generations. Join our volunteer team today to help keep Davidson green and beautiful!
