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!

“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.”
— Dana Loseke, Volunteer Forester, Trees Knoxville
