Dilworth's tree canopy is aging and we are losing a number of mature shade trees.
Join us in our mission to preserve, protect, and plant trees in Dilworth.

Dilworth Street Tree Year-End Fundraiser

The DCA’s Tree Canopy Committee was just as hot as you were this summer and wants to ensure that Dilworth remains cool and shady for years to come.
We continue to lose street trees - the public trees in the right of way typically between the street and the sidewalk. They are aging out or diseased, and without replanting the character and walkability of Dilworth will suffer.
In the past, the City of Charlotte’s Landscape Management Division has planted 15 - 40 street trees each year throughout Dilworth. However, they have shifted from the old system of individual requests and city-wide allocation of their stock to planting trees in “heat islands”, areas of the city that are under-treed. This means we will receive far fewer “free” street trees than we have gotten in prior years from the City of Charlotte.
SO…we are asking YOU to help out by donating to the Street Tree Year End fundraising campaign. The goal is to add more street trees throughout Dilworth this winter..
To help us plant more community street trees, use one of the 3 ways to donate below.
NOTE that you can double your contribution through your corporate matching program (any questions, email express@dilworthonline.org).
