TreesCharlotte is digging in at eight local schools on N.C. Arbor Day to plant trees and educate students on how trees benefit the environment. The March 18 event is part of its Charlotte Arbor Week Celebration, March 12-19. TreesCharlotte is also working with Devonshire Elementary and Cochran Collegiate Academy students and staff to plant 328 trees on the campus of both schools March 12.

More than 600 free trees will be given to individuals with proof of Charlotte residence.
