As the City of Oaks, trees are an important part of Raleigh’s identity and charm. Beyond their beauty, trees provide essential benefits like shade in urban areas, cleaner air, and an improved quality of life. As the city grows, decisions around preserving our tree canopy will ensure Raleigh remains a healthy, vibrant, and sustainable community.
Community Conversation
On March 11 and 18, the city hosted two nights of presentations and discussion on trees.
