we actually did it, the city council finally agreed to fund the tree replanting initiative. i cant thank you enough for sticking with this because we really changed the plan. now we just have to make sure they stick to the budget promise.

Save Charlotte’s Trees! Charlotte’s trees provide millions of dollars in benefits to the entire community by reducing storm water runoff, lowering utility bills and making our air cleaner to breathe. But in the past two decades Charlotte has lost half of its famed tree canopy. Each year, Charlotte loses more trees than are planted.
Enough is enough! Charlotte City Council must reverse tree loss and designate our city’s trees as “infrastructure” and begin now by funding street tree maintenance and replanting with a line item of $500,000 for trees in the 2011 budget.
This petition will be sent to all Charlotte city council members, the mayor and appropriate city and county staff.

The heat in the city is getting unbearable without the shade from the old oaks. PLEASE fix this.
Whatever happened to the city of trees? Its all strip malls now. Stop cutting them down.
Really hope the city council listens for once. Our canopy is disappearing fast.
Charlotte looks so bare lately compared to when I was a kid. Really need to start planting more.
my neighborhood has lost like 5 big trees on my street alone this year this is bad
I agree I keep in seeing trees getting cut everywhere and its s depressing
