Statewide Tree Giveaway and Planting Event:   

Click "Register Now" to reserve your trees

(while supplies last)

Help plant trees and enhance the natural beauty of Tennessee’s environment.  

This is the registration page for tree-planters who would like to pick up free trees and plant as many as you'd like on your own property -- whether home or business.  Tree species include equal amounts of Redbud, American Plum, Shumard Oak and Virginia Pine.  Click here for images and descriptions of trees.  These are bare root seedlings, which means they are one foot to three feet tall.  Be sure to plant larger trees at least 50 feet from any power lines, poles or underground utility lines.

Where: Pick up 4 to 400 trees at one of the locations listed in this link (or volunteer to be a tree-pickup spot), then plant them on your home or business property.  You must be able to pick up your trees at one of these locations this Thursday or Friday afternoon at the times listed in this link (between 1pm and 6pm)

How: You will plant your trees on March 14 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Central/11am to Noon Eastern. However, if you can't plant all your trees within an hour, take as much time as you need... just please get them in the ground by the end of March.  We recommend you recruit a group of friends to plant with you.

Thank you for taking part in a wonderful event supporting the environment and our communities in Tennessee.
