By offering free native trees to residents, we're not just giving away saplings—we're planting seeds of environmental justice, neighborhood pride, and long-term resilience. Each tree has the power to cool a street, clean our air, slow stormwater, support local wildlife, and make a home more livable.

​

In the face of rising heat, stronger storms, and shrinking tree canopy, these trees become tools of transformation. They shade sidewalks, lower energy costs, and turn gray streetscapes into green sanctuaries. Trees calm noise, improve mental health, and restore tree equity where it’s needed most.

 

When you plant a tree with us, you’re helping build a Cape Fear region where everyone benefits from a thriving urban forest.
