Nashville Tree Fest to give away 800 free trees at 8 local farmers markets.
Free container trees will improve health and air quality.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., August 15, 2018 — Nashville Tree Foundation will provide 800 free container-grown trees to Davidson County residents during Nashville Tree Fest, a 3-week celebration of trees.
From September 25 to October 12 Nashville Tree Foundation will provide a variety of free trees and education at 8 farmers markets.
Since Metro-owned land represents only 5% of the land in Davidson County, Nashville Tree Foundation wants to encourage more homeowners and neighborhoods to plant trees.
“Come learn about trees, what makes them great for your yard and neighborhood, and ask any question you may have about trees,” says Noni Nielsen, NTF president. “We will give you a tree and teach you how to plant and care for it for the next generation to enjoy.” Trees combat climate change, absorb carbon dioxide, provide clean air and water, and cool streets and homes.
Tree planting and care information will be at each market with tree experts on hand to answer questions about trees. Visit www.nashvilletreefoundation.org to learn more about the event.
Nashville Tree Foundation thanks our national and regional partners whose support is critical in making Nashville Tree Fest a reality. Thanks to The Arbor Day Foundation, CSX, Twice Daily Thrive and Pinnacle Bank for their generous contributions.
