What is Tennessee Tree Day?
TEC’s Tennessee Tree Day is an annual, family-friendly event that engages thousands of volunteers across the state in planting native tree seedlings. By partnering with the Tennessee Division of Forestry and various nurseries, we distribute bare-root native trees to Tennessee residents through our vast network of dedicated volunteers and local businesses. Since our initiative began in 2007, we’ve mobilized over 100,000 residents to plant more than one million native trees —an effort that not only significantly enhances the tree canopy and promotes sustainability but also provides critical ecosystem services, such as purifying air, filtering stormwater, and creating wildlife habitat. We believe that by planting these trees, every participant—from seasoned gardeners to first-timers—reconnects with nature and fulfills a vital responsibility to nurture the environment, leaving a precious, lasting gift for future generations and making their community better than they found it.

Continued care for your trees
Planting the right tree in the right place ensures long-term health and benefits while avoiding potential problems.
It is important to plant trees and shrubs in the correct hardiness zone to minimize stress and maximize chances of survival.
Choosing trees native to the region will reduce the need for extra care. When choosing a tree, consider factors such as tree species, size at maturity, sunlight requirements, soil conditions, and potential conflicts with utilities or structures.
It is important to water your trees for the first three years.
