CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Beginning Tuesday, Dec. 26, Clarksville residents can drop of their Christmas trees at Heritage Park to be recycled.

There is a designated drop off area taped off at Heritage Park's soccer parking area. The trees will be chipped on site and used as mulch for landscaping and trails.

The trees must be left undecorated, unbagged and with metal backings removed. They can be dropped off during park hours until Monday, Jan. 8.

For more information, contact Building and Facilities Management at (931)-553-2444.

The skies were closed on 9/11. A Nashville phone call helped save a baby’s life

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
