Upcoming Events

Did you know that the tree planting season in Wilmington is October to February (and not the spring)? Our mild winter months give newly planted trees a 2 to 3 month head start in establishing roots so they can better survive our hot summers!

Saturdays in September & October: 2024 Tree Steward class - now enrolling!
November 2nd: Tree distribution in Riegelwood NC. Details coming soon.

Learn more by visiting Events.
