Upcoming Events
Did you know that 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!

Even if you can't make an event, you can help out by becoming a Tree Ambassador!
In order to plant all these trees, we need to go door-to-door, espouse the benefits of trees, and get residents' permission to plant in front of their homes.
Trees need care during the critical years after planting. If you're into watering, mulching, and watering, you can help out by becoming a Tree Steward!
