Here’s what’s happening this week in the Chattanooga area.
Tree time
The deadline for ordering trees for Tennessee Tree Day is approaching. The annual event by the nonprofit Tennessee Environmental Council makes several species of bare-root tree seedlings available for purchase for a $4 to $5 donation each. Customers may reserve them through March 2, then will pick up for a mass planting on March 15 (pickup also available March 14). Tennessee Tree Day is the largest community tree-planting project of its kind in America, with more than 100,000 native tree seedlings made available for planting in all 95 counties. To take part, go to tectn.org and choose a pickup location from the map. There’s at least one location in each county, and Hamilton County has eight options. The seedlings are less than 1 year old and range in size from 1 to 4 feet. New orders can get a 50% discount when using the promo code “TTD2025half” at checkout, and scholarship funds may be available for a limited number of complimentary trees for those who cannot afford the donation. Trees must be reserved and paid for online.
