Community tree care volunteer activity for Palisades High School and Palisades Park Elementary School, involving tree inventory mapping and care.
TreesCharlotte is hosting a community tree care volunteer activity at Palisades High School on Friday, February 5, 2027, from 10 AM to 12 PM. It's a morning spent outdoors working on the trees around Palisades High School and Palisades Park Elementary School, and it's open to anyone in the city who wants to spend a few hours helping out.
If you're not familiar with them, TreesCharlotte is a local organization that does a lot of this kind of work across Mecklenburg County. They run TreeAdoption events where residents can take home trees, and they offer TreeMaster and TreeKeeper classroom courses for people who want to learn more about urban forestry. Their volunteer work often puts people into zones with specific tasks—like the street-view tree inventory mapping they've done in the Historic Hoskins area—so you'll likely be working alongside a small group on a particular section of the grounds.
They organize their planting events by zip code or neighborhood, and volunteer opportunities are marked with a blue ribbon on their calendar. Those spots open on a rolling basis, with registration links becoming available in the month leading up to the date, so you'll want to keep an eye on their site as February approaches.
