The Tennessee Environmental Council is offering 100,000 free tree seedlings for volunteers, home planters, and community planting locations across the state.

Anyone in Tennessee may register at the 100K Tree Day web page, reserve 5-20 free trees, find a place to plant them (home, farm, church, along a stream, anywhere a tree will grow -- but preferably 50 feet away from overhead or underground utility lines), pick them up at the distribution location they choose during registration, pick them upon on the designated pickup day/time, and plant them on February 25.

For a list of participating tree-distribution centers visit http://tectn.org/map-of-100k-tree-day-local-distribution-centers/. This is where participants will pick up their trees on the day before or day of the planting. Distribution centers include TDEC field offices, State Parks, Rural Electric Cooperatives, UT Ag Extension Offices, and other community partner locations.
