The Alliance for Cape Fear Trees in partnership with the City of Wilmington will be canvasing Wilmington's Northside for tree planting locations, thanks to several pending grants . These trees will be planted in front of homes, in the city's right of way this fall. Our focus is on areas that were not planted last year. The City Arborist requires that ACFT volunteers go door to door to obtain homeowner responses if they do or do not want a tree planted in front of their homes, in the city right of way.
