Each year, Asheville GreenWorks hosts a native tree adoption — a single day where locals could pick up a native tree to plant on their property and thus contribute to the support of local pollinators and environmental resilience. But as with so many causes, the storm exacerbated the need. Helene wreaked arboreal havoc, felling countless trees throughout the region.
So instead of the usual adoption event, GreenWorks has decided to expand. The Reforest Asheville Effort will last a week, and residents can get multiple trees to help reforest their property. Because of the success of the organization’s fall tree sale fundraiser, many trees are available for free or reduced prices.
Start by browsing the online shop to find varieties like Pignut Hickory, Overcup Oak, and Southern Magnolia. Pickup begins today, Nov. 12 at Sand Hill Nursery, and your confirmation email will include additional details.
Pro tip: If you just want to support the cause, you can also donate or purchase a Reforest Asheville gift card.
