Need help picking the right tree for your yard? No worries! Certified arborists and Tree Stewards will be on hand to offer expert guidance, planting tips, and long-term care advice.
This is part of our mission to grow a healthier, more resilient tree canopy across the Lower Cape Fear—especially in fast-developing areas that are losing trees at an alarming rate.
Trees clean our air, cool our streets, calm our stress, and connect our communities. Come plant a better future with us—literally!
🌳 Our tree giveaways are—and will always be—free and open to all. But if you're able, we invite you to make a suggested donation of $10 per tree to support our operations, community plantings, and tree advocacy across the Cape Fear region. Your gift helps us keep growing!
