----------------------------
Trees Across Raleigh is a non-profit organization
dedicated to improving
the City of Raleigh's appearance, fostering greater
community pride, and
promoting economic development by planting trees
throughout the city.
Our volunteers plant trees in public rights-of-way,
along public medians,
and in public parks.
Trees Across Raleigh was first launched in June 1996,
after Hurricane
Fran destroyed so many of the city's trees. Since
then, over 4,000
volunteers have planted more than 8,000 trees in public
rights-of-way,
medians, and parks at a value of over $1,000,000.
Previous Trees Across Raleigh plantings have improved
the appearance
of Glenwood Avenue near Five Points, New Bern Avenue
near Wake Medical
Center, Millbrook Exchange Park, Fletcher Park, Chavis
Park, Marsh Creek
Park, Method Road Park, and Biltmore Park.
