Abersham Park Tree Planting
2026-03-07 09:00 - 11:00 | NC
Please join Davidson Lands Conservancy’s Trees program as we add to our vital tree canopy. Help plant 75-100 trees on and around the Abersham Park stream corridor. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services recently completed a stream restoration project that necessitated the removal of trees long the stream banks. Part of the project provided for replanting of these areas and that’s what this project will help accomplish. These trees add so much to our local ecosystem. They help clean our air, clean our water, lower temperatures and provide critical animal habitats. DLC and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services will provide everything needed – gloves, shovels, rakes, trees, mulch, and a Tree Steward as your guide! We just need you!
Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty and WET and please bring your own water. Coffee, hot chocolate and snacks will be available. All ages welcome with proper supervision. This planting was made possible in part through the generosity of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services.
