Adopt a Tree with Asheville GreenWorks’ Eco Initiative

On Sep 28, 2023

TL/DR –

Asheville GreenWorks is organizing its 2023 Fall Tree Adoption event on October 29, where locals can pick up a native tree to plant in their yards to support native pollinators and help protect the area from heat, air pollution, erosion, and wind. Registration is required for the event, where participants provide their Buncombe County address and choose a pickup time slot. The registration process helps GreenWorks track who is planting trees and where the native species are being placed.

Asheville GreenWorks Organizes 2023 Fall Tree Adoption

Your backyard in Buncombe County could turn greener thanks to Asheville GreenWorks. Their 2023 Fall Tree Adoption event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sand Hill Tree Nursery. The move aims to encourage locals to plant native trees in their residences to foster native pollinators and combat heat, air pollution, erosion, and wind. Registration, opening on Monday, Oct. 2, is mandatory.

Registration and Tree Selection

While registering, you’ll provide your Buncombe County address and choose a time slot. You can delegate someone to pick your tree, but planting must be done at the registered residential address. This rule enables GreenWorks to track tree planting and native species distribution.

Before attending, make sure to check out the variety of trees available and learn about the height, needs, and advantages of each species to make an informed choice.
