In partnership with Charlotte Landscape Management and their TreeXTree Program, we're challenging you to identify and map as many trees as possible during Creek Week! The group that maps the most trees wins a gift card! We will be kicking off this competition at the Tree ID and Mapping event during Creek Week! During this event, you learn how to identify different native tree species and use the tree mapping tool. You also be given a booklet to take with you to help you identify trees on your own and even have the chance to win a tree to take home! Register for this event. If you’d like to learn more about competing in the Tree Mapping Challenge, email Natasha Warren at Natasha.Warren@charlottenc.gov.
