Come Plant Trees
at Southwest Middle School
(October
16, 2017) Southwest Middle School is getting a little greener! They
are participating in an exciting event with
TreesCharlotte,
a public/private collaboration dedicated to grow and
diversify Charlotte's urban forest by planting 500,000 trees
by 2050, promoting tree stewardship, and educating how to
plant and preserve trees.
TreesCharlotte and
Southwest Middle School are hosting a tree planting event on
Saturday, November 4 from 9:00 to noon, and they are looking
for a lot of volunteers to help plant over 750 trees around
the campus. |
|
Trees clean our air, reduce storm water run-off, cool
our streets, reduce energy use, enhance wellness, increase
property values, and give us beauty. |
As a volunteer you
will be provided with all the instruction and oversight you need to
be successful planting trees at the event.
These events offer
the perfect opportunity to get church groups, scouts, corporate
teams, etc involved in the important mission of TreesCharlotte.
TreesCharlotte events are super fun and rewarding.
The Southwest
Middle School band änd orchestra will perform at this event.
Volunteers walk away
with a TreesCharlotte water bottle and the satisfaction of planting
trees for now and for the future - plus you will have a
lot of fun!

There is also a
TreeDay Event at River Gate Elementary School on Saturday, October
21 from 9:00 to 11:30 AM. See
River Gate Elementary TreeDay Event to register as a volunteer.
Last December, TreesCharlotte and over 150 volunteers planted over 300 trees on the campus of Kennedy Middle School.
