Let’s throw some shade, y’all.

Yeah, Knoxville is cool—but we think it could be even cooler. At Trees Knoxville, we have big dreams about shade on the sidewalks, a tree in every front yard, and canopy cover as far as the eye can see. But to make those dreams come true, we’re depending on you. Grab a shovel and help us grow Knoxville’s urban forest!

We want you to get involved.

I enjoy passing on my knowledge of planting trees to the students and young families who volunteer with me at Trees Knoxville events. It's amazing that only a couple of hours spent planting trees can improve neighborhood serenity, enhance the beauty of a street, and cool homes for decades to come.
