(and growing)
Plant a tree, grow our city
Nashville’s tree canopy is critical for public health and environmental resilience. Protecting and restoring our trees promotes clean air and water for future generations.
Root Nashville is a public-private campaign, led by Metro Nashville and the Cumberland River Compact, to plant 500,000 trees across Davidson County by 2050.
Join the Campaign
Nashvillians can support the Root Nashville campaign by donating, volunteering, or ordering free trees for their property. The more momentum that builds, the greener our city becomes.

Three million people and thousands of species depend on clean water from the Cumberland River. A strong, healthy tree canopy is one way to ensure that Nashville residents and wildlife have access to clean water.
