Take a walk on the wild side with TreesCharlotte! This educational event is led by our arborist and takes place at Freedom Park, which is known for its robust tree canopy and tree biodiversity. All events are open to partnership volunteers as well as community members. We will have a table at the start of the tree walk with some general information about TreesCharlotte as well to provide general information and on the tree species you will be observing.

Events are from 5:30pm – 6:45pm

*A minimum of 8 people are required for the event to occur. Registered attendees will receive at least 24 hours notice if the event must be cancelled due to low attendance.

Tree Walk will begin at Lilac Road parking lot (across from 2430 Cumberland Avenue and by the Freedom Park Demonstration Garden). There is a small parking lot to park in, but we encourage carpooling as parking may be limited. We encourage you to plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow time to find parking as the event will start promptly at 5:30pm. Please use the exact address above to arrive at the right location within Freedom Park (putting solely “Freedom Park” into your GPS may not land you in the right location). If the Lilac Road parking lot is full, you can park in the Freedom Park main parking lot off of East Boulevard and then walk past the playground, over the bridge, towards the Demonstration Garden.

Comfortable attire and walking shoes are a must. Hat and sunscreen are recommended. Water and light snacks will be provided. Please plan to expect a brisk walk through the park.
