Our 100th #TreasureTree. Silver maple (Acer saccharinu) 🌳🏅

We celebrated our 100th Treasure Tree, a majestic silver maple, located in the back parking lot at Davidson United Methodist. Stop by and say hi to #100. The Treasure Tree program is supported through the generosity of @Trane_Tech 🌳 davidsonlands.org/100-silver-map…

Urban trees are the best defense against heat waves in cities. By planting trees strategically across urban areas, the air can be cooled by up to 10 degrees 🌡☀️ As our climate continues to change, #ATreeCanBe an answer, one that helps cities become more resilient.

Did you know that trees are basically nature's superheroes when it comes to cleaning the air? They're like the Avengers of the plant world, but instead of fighting aliens, they're battling pollution. Trees absorb all sorts of nasty stuff like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, and then they release the good stuff - oxygen! So next time you're out for a walk in the park, give a high-five to the nearest tree. They're working hard to keep our air fresh and clean, one leaf at a time! #trees #climatechange #globalwarming #avengers #pollution #oceans #reforestation #plantingtrees

Davidson Lands Conservancy (@davidsonlands) has four main goals that guide its mission: conserve land, tree canopy, greenways & trails, and wildlife habitat. Learn more about their work → davidsonlands.org/about-us/ #MemberMonday

An updated tree canopy assessment of Davidson was recently completed by @PlanItGeo2012. A factsheet is posted here bit.ly/canopy2023 📊In 2022, Davidson had more trees in its town area (60% canopy cover) compared to neighboring jurisdictions. #treecanopy #urbanforest

DLC teaches the value of conservation through a variety of methods. One of those is courses offered by Davidson Learns. This past weekend, Dave Cable concluded his course, Creative Approaches to Conservation, by taking his class on a trip to the Redlair Preserve in Gaston County

A fantastic group from CSD removed invasive species, controlled trail erosion, refreshed outdoor classrooms and rebuilt a portion of an important bridge with us. Scroll to the last photo to see a pair of thankful fans of the improved bridge. A huge thank you to all involved!

TreesDavidson, a program of @davidsonlands is holding a community tree planting at Fisher Farm Park on Saturday, Oct 28, 9am-12pm. We'll be planting 50 trees along the greenway. No experience is needed. We'll train you! Visit our Linktree to register to volunteer! #plantatree

The vast majority of our conservation work is done by caring, committed volunteers. Last week a group of teachers from CSD came out to help us at Fisher Farm Park. We cannot thank them enough! If you have a group looking for a worthwhile project, email carly@davidsonlands.org.
