Treasure Trees tagged with a diamond in Davidson
This Willow Oak is known as the “Delburg Tree”. It was planted in 1939 to mark a property boundary between two lots on Delburg Street. Photo Davidson Lands Conservancy.
July 26. Small, diamond-shaped signs on trees around Davidson designate the oldest and grandest trees.
These trees, known as Treasure Trees, are port of a program recently launched by Davidson Lands Conservancy and underwritten by Trane Technologies.
The Treasure Trees initiative aims to heighten community awareness and knowledge of the tree canopy, and to locate and honor these trees by describing them and telling their stories.
Treasure Trees include rare, large or physically unique specimens, and trees of cultural or historical significance. Local tree enthusiasts, private arborists, Davidson College representatives, and Davidson Lands Conservancy staff and volunteers collaborate to help identify and catalog these trees.
Anyone can nominate a tree.

So wonderful to see our community honoring trees! They provide us with cleaner air, beautiful colors as calendars of the seasons of the year and shade in the heat. We should appreciate them!
Sadly, too often we see trees cut down for more development. 😢
