ABOUT RELEAFING NASHVILLE DAY
ReLeafing Day is the Nashville Tree Foundation’s fall planting held every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving since 2002 with volunteers across the county planting trees in public spaces and private yards. In partnership with Nashville Electric Service, the Foundation has planted hundreds of powerline approved trees since 2005. ReLeafing Day evolved out of Nashville Tree Foundation’s highly successful award-winning ReLeaf Nashville project that planted 6,757 shade trees from 1998-2001 to replace some of the 20,000 felled by the tornadoes on April 16, 1998.
