//[UPDATE: We hit our 2024 goal to sell 10 trees! Please note that while we can continue to accept tax-deductible orders and donations (and we appreciate it!), we can NOT guarantee planting location now that our goal has been met.]//
The city of Charleston runs an innovative public-private partnership to improve the greening of our streets. If you live in Charleston, you know we can use all the shade we can get! For $295/tree, the city will plant a space-appropriate tree in a property’s right of way (the city-owned “verge” between the sidewalk and the curb), water it for a year, and prune it for its lifetime.
By organizing efficiently at the neighborhood level, the city will donate a free tree for every two we buy. So if we buy 10, we’ll have 15 (the total the city thinks it can support in North Central in the first year). And since the NCNA is now an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your tree investment is a fully tax-deductible donation. (Don’t want to buy a whole tree? Please donate what you can here.)
You can request a tree along or near your own property or choose to donate a tree for a designated High-Impact plat (i.e. a spot that could really use some shade but where there might not be a resident or the resources).
Thank you for contributing to the beautification, resilience, and livability of North Central for us and future generations to enjoy. Your gift is a legacy.
