WE DID IT!
On March 9th, 2024, we planted our ceremonial 1,000,000th native tree since the establishment of the Tree Program in 2007.
Trees Planted Since 2007

The trees planted during Tennessee Tree Day 2024 helped us achieve our goal, set in 2007, to plant and care for one million native trees! We worked with public and state agencies across Tennessee to distribute and plant trees in all 95 counties of Tennessee. This great achievement would not have been possible without thousands of volunteers, partners, and sponsors. In addition, we want to offer a special thanks to the Division of Forestry and UT extension for assisting us along the way!

Now Partnering With Root Nashville - How to Register Your Trees
Tennessee Environmental Council is excited to partner with the Root Nashville campaign. We have a common goal to plant 50,000 trees in Davidson County by 2050. Any trees planted prior to 2022 through Tennessee Tree Day are eligible to count toward this city-wide goal. An online mapping tool called TreePlotter is used to track Root Nashville's progress. Individuals or groups who want newly planted trees to be counted can register their trees on the Root Nashville website. Click the button below to register your tree. |
