NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — In the ever-changing landscape of Middle Tennessee, trees are disappearing. Root Nashville — a partnership of Metro Nashville and the Cumberland River Compact — is working to change that.
Davidson County residents can receive three trees for their yard and 10 or more trees for larger sites. The simple goal of Root Nashville is to plant as many trees in Davidson County as possible. Residents are encouraged to order free trees (which come with delivery, planting assistance, and watering reminders) for their homes or neighborhoods, choosing from a selection of five native species.
The deadline to order free trees for the upcoming planting season is Saturday, August 31.
Just visit their website to order before August 31.
Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
