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.

ReLeafing Day is the Saturday before Thanksgiving

ReLeafing Day is the Nashville Tree Foundation's fall planting, held every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

Volunteers across the county plant trees in public spaces and private yards. In partnership with Nashville Electric Service, the Tree Foundaiton has planted hundreds of trees since ReLeafing Day began in 2002.

ReLeafing Day evolved out of Nashville Tree Foundation’s highly successful, award-winning ReLeaf Nashville project that planted 6,757 shade trees from 1998 to 2001 to replace some of the 20,000 felled by tornadoes April 16, 1998.

We are so happy to be the recipients of the beautiful holly tree you gave us to plant in our yard. We will enjoy it for years to come. Also, the planting & watering supplies, & the help & advice were much appreciated. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Patricia Hanson
