Keeping Gastonia Beautiful Plants 400 Trees

Trees were distributed to a historically designated neighborhood working to rebuild the tree canopy as many of their aging trees have been destroyed during the last decade from storms. Some were given to Parks and Recreation to pot and grow in their nursery to then be placed throughout the city when they have grown a bit. Some trees were gifted to city employees to celebrate Earth Day. The remainder were potted by Parks and Recreation staff to give to families at a Healthy Kids event. Species planted: white dogwood, red maple, sugar maple, tulip poplar, eastern redbud. Learn more about NWF’s Trees for Wildlife program impact!
