The Creek ReLeaf Program is a collaborative effort of:

• Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services
• Charlotte Public Tree Fund
• Center for Sustainability at Central Piedmont Community College
• Sierra Club - Central Piedmont Group
• our dedicated volunteers and financial supporters

to plant trees in riparian areas (floodplain and stream buffers) of Mecklenburg County.

The 2011 Creek ReLeaf was held on November 19. Volunteers planted 1,200 tree seedlings and 500 live stakes at three locations in the Briar Creek Watershed. Live stakes are cut branches of trees planted directly in moist soil.

Since 2008, volunteers have come out to plant a total of more than 7,000 tree seedlings in the McDowell Creek and Little Sugar Creek Watersheds.
