NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — In Middle Tennessee’s ever-changing landscape, trees are disappearing. Root Nashville – a partnership of Metro Nashville and the Cumberland River Compact – is working to change that.
Davidson County residents can receive three trees for their yard and 10 or more trees for larger properties. Root Nashville’s simple goal is to plant as many trees as possible in Davidson County. Residents are encouraged to order free trees (with delivery, planting assistance and watering reminders) for their homes or neighborhoods, choosing from a selection of five native species.
The deadline to order free trees for the upcoming planting season is Saturday, August 31st.
Just visit their website to order before August 31st.
