Nashville Tree Foundation works to preserve and enhance Nashville’s urban forest by educating the public, planting trees in urban areas, identifying the oldest and largest trees in Davidson County, and designating arboretums.

Big Old Tree Contest deadline is April 1, 2009

The Nashville Tree Foundation’s annual Big Old Tree Contest is going to be BIG this year in honor of the 21st anniversary of the effort to find the biggest and oldest trees in Davidson County.

Trees of any species in Davidson County can be nominated by any person. The trees can be on the property of the nominator, the public, neighbor, friend, or stranger. The owner’s permission is suggested but not required.
