Description

Volunteer tree planting event along Lytle Creek on 1/25 and 1/26 from 9am -12pm.

Where: 

2432 Red Mile Road, Murfreesboro, TN 37127 

Parking will be available in the field/street. Please do not block driveways or intersections.

Why: 

By planting a diverse assortment of native trees, we will expand the vegetative buffer zone along Lytle Creek. Healthy vegetative buffers play an instrumental role in the health of a stream by reducing the amount of sediment and nutrient pollution entering the stream, reducing erosion, decreasing flood water velocity downstream, and creating habitat for a variety of wildlife. This event is in collaboration with Kirchhoff Automotive, whose goal is to plant 1785 trees correlating with the year they started.

What to bring

Please be sure to bring a refillable water bottle.  TEC will provide all necessary tools, sunscreen, and bug spray.

 

*WE WILL EMAIL YOU PRIOR TO THE EVENT WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION*
