Did you know Charlotte has lost more than 8% of its tree canopy in the last decade? 😢
I didn’t either.
But I also learned that Charlotte is working hard to live up to its nickname, the City of Trees—and it’s paying off. Charlotte is reportedly 38 times cleaner than the average U.S. city, thanks in part to organizations like Keep Charlotte Beautiful and countless community volunteers.💚
From tree preservation and pollinator habitat to public education and community spaces like Tuckaseegee Arboretum & Gardens (TAG), there are a lot of people working behind the scenes to protect and grow Charlotte’s urban forest. 🦋 🐝
We’re proud to support TAG, created by the City of Charlotte Landscape Management team and supported by City of Charlotte
This past weekend, Charlotte celebrated the official opening of TAG during Pollinator Month—a new space dedicated to trees, pollinators, and preserving what makes our city beautiful.
As Charlotte continues to grow, where do you think we’re getting it right—and where do we still have work to do?
