ReLeafing Day is Saturday!

Nashville Tree Foundation and our planting partner, Cumberland River Compact, will be planting over 200 trees in our great city on Saturday, November 19.  Power line-approved trees, provided by NES, will be planted at qualified homes in Hadley Park and Nations neighborhoods and on TSU's campus to grow near power lines without need for trimming.  Larger trees to provide shade, improve air and water quality will be planted at schools and public parks.  The launch of NTF's first community orchard will plant heirloom trees in flood impacted area for the community.

Volunteers still needed.
If you can help us plant trees, please register here.  You can register yourself or your entire group at one time.  Let us know who you are and how many you will bring.
