Free Trees for You

NTF distributes thousands of container trees yearly, at no cost to recipients. You can get your own free trees at one of our many tree adoption events throughout the year or during our annual fall celebration of all things trees, Nashville Tree Fest. The addition of a new tree to your home will help lower your energy bills, beautify your neighborhood, and clean the city air and water. Help grow our urban forest!

Presented by LP Building Solutions

Each October, NTF visits several farmer’s markets and community events throughout the month distributing free trees!
