Planting is only half the work, no matter how many trees we put into the ground. By educating Nashvillians of all ages about the importance of the urban canopy, we’re ensuring that our work reaches beyond the planting sites. We love to couple our plantings with education. If your school or organization would like both, please let us know!

K-12 Education

Nashville Tree Foundation proudly works with Nashville schools to provide educational materials for all grade levels and learning environments.

K-5 students will take part in a tree walk and identify tree anatomy and functions of trees, as well as taking part in hands-on activities to engage students with trees and their benefits.

Jr. Tree Stewards will dive into the benefits of trees, best care practices, and learn about the importance of “right tree, right place.” This will involve outdoor activities as well as informative presentations in the classroom.

Community Classes

We are all lifelong learners. Check out one of our community education events to pick up a new skill, learn about Nashville’s environmental needs, or hear a special guest share their expertise.
