WHOM TO CALL

Nashville Tree Foundation

Nashville Tree Foundation was founded in 1986, an outgrowth of Homecoming '86 when 1986 trees were planted in Davidson County.

Under Betty Brown’s continuous leadership, the Foundation has worked to recreate the city’s urban forest in a variety of ways. Since 1986, the group has planted more than 8,000 trees and recognized over 500 champions of the Big Old Tree Contest.

Foundation elects Wallace president

Long-time board member Pat Wallace is the new president of Nashville Tree Foundation. Pat is taking over from Betty Brown, who remains on the board as the Foundation’s founding president.

Wallace, a fundraising consultant, said, “I’m honored to become only the second president ever of Nashville Tree Foundation. Betty Brown’s leadership has been inspiring, and I hope to continue building the strong organization she created.” She joined the Foundation board in 1988.
