Each year, the Arbor Day Foundation honors top individuals and organizations involved in exemplary tree planting and environmental practices.
This award recognizes a government entity, community-based organization, or partnership among such groups that has demonstrated exemplary leadership to develop and implement new policies and practices for municipal tree planting and care, natural area stewardship, or arboriculture.
The Arbor Day Foundation has named the City of Charlotte, North Carolina a Champion of Trees.
Charlotte’s Tree Canopy Preservation Program (TCPP) preserves natural areas in the city through voluntary purchases or easements, paid for by fees collected from developers. Since 2014, the city has protected 221 acres, an area three times larger than what would have been protected through traditional tree preservation codes, and acquisitions are targeted rather than left to developer choice.
