Oak City Tree Campaign
Building a legacy and planting hope for the future in Raleigh, NC.
ROTARY CLUB OF RALEIGH
The Raleigh Rotary America 250 Oak City Tree Campaign invites residents to help plant over 250 oak trees across the city in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. Honoring Raleigh’s heritage as the “City of Oaks,” this initiative aims to raise $75,000 to support a greener, healthier, and more connected community. By increasing the city’s tree canopy, the campaign will deliver lasting benefits such as cleaner air, cooler neighborhoods, and more vibrant streets. Through both ceremonial and community-wide plantings, residents have the opportunity to come together, celebrate Raleigh’s identity, and invest in a sustainable future for generations to come.
Your support of the America 250 campaign today plants the shade, cleaner air, and beauty the people of Raleigh will enjoy for the next 250 years. Become a sponsor today!
