By partnering with the **[Tennessee Division of Forestry](https://www.tn.gov/agriculture/forests/about.html)** and various nurseries, we distribute bare-root native trees to Tennessee residents through our vast network of dedicated volunteers and local businesses. Since our initiative began in 2007, we've mobilized over **100,000 residents** to plant more than **one million native trees** —an effort that not only significantly enhances the tree canopy and promotes sustainability but also provides critical ecosystem services, such as purifying air, filtering stormwater, and creating wildlife habitat. We believe that by planting these trees, every participant—from seasoned gardeners to first-timers—reconnects with nature and fulfills a vital responsibility to nurture the environment, leaving a precious, lasting gift for future generations and making their community better than they found it. **For the first time ever, we will have a tree Pick-Up Site in all 95 counties of Tennessee for Tree Day 2026\!** ## **Tennessee Tree Day 2026 Tree Guides** **Tree species this year include: ​****baldcypress, bur oak, eastern redbud, eastern white pine, elderberry, northern red oak, pecan, persimmon, river birch, smooth sumac, and tulip poplar\!** | | | |---|---| | **Check out our Twig Identification Guide\!** []() | **Check out the Habitat Guide\!** Consider how tall & wide your tree(s) will grow ​at maturity when planting ​ Be sure to **call 811** before digging to avoid hitting any underground pipes or wires. | ## **Watch the videos below to learn how to properly plant a bare-root seedling and ​for tips on planting the right tree in the right place.** *** ## **Continued Care For Your Trees** Planting the right tree in the right place ensures long-term health and benefits while avoiding potential problems. It is important to plant trees and shrubs in the correct hardiness zone to minimize stress and maximize chances of survival. Choosing trees native to the region will reduce the need for extra care. When choosing a tree, consider factors such as tree species, size at maturity, sunlight requirements, soil conditions, and potential conflicts with utilities or structures. It is important to water your trees for the first three years. \***Please learn more about how to care for your native trees by clicking the button below!\*** [Tree Care tips](https://www.tectn.org/treecare.html) *** ## **Tree Day Stories** **Share your Tree Day pictures with us\!** We would love to see pictures of you and your newly planted trees.
