Two Unique Elizabeth Tree Initiatives: ECA-Sponsored Cankerworm Supplies & ECA Subsidized Tree Planting.
Save our Mature Tree Canopy - Fight the Cankerworm
Elizabeth's mature tree canopy is one of the things that makes our neighborhood so sought after. However, every Fall, the cankerworm descends on the City of Charlotte and threatens our large-growth trees.
Thanks to generous donations and the hard work of volunteers, the Elizabeth Community Association is able to supply tree banding kits at a fraction of what they would cost at a hardware store. The cost for supplies through the ECA is $1.00 per foot. The price of $1.00 a foot covers the cost of roofing paper, batting, Tanglefoot and wrapping materials. This year, The ECA tree banding materials will be sold on 11/7/2009 at 2217 E. 5th Street. If you can not pick up your supplies on this date or missed the deadline, send an email to Trees4elizabeth@Gmail.com. Cash and Checks will be accepted. Please make checks out to the ECA.
