Statewide 50K Tree Day is Saturday. That’s when people across the entire state are urged to plant a tree. More than 6,000 volunteers from all 95 Tennessee counties are signed up to participate in Tennessee’s largest tree-planting event, organized by Tennessee Environmental Council. Participants will plant 50,000 native trees in one day.
“People in Tennessee love planting trees, and it’s a top priority for our organization as a way to improve our environment, communities and public health,” says John McFadden, CEO of Tennessee Environmental Council.
Volunteers in Cannon County participating in Tree Day Saturday can stop by the Cannon County UT Extension Center and pick up their trees today. Most of the area pick-up sites have been sold out of trees already. Visit tectn.org/50ktreeday for other pickup locations, details and registration.
