Tennessee Tree Day 2022 involved many stakeholder groups and thousands of volunteers. Some planted trees to replace those lost to development. Others planted trees to help to repair degraded streams and improve water quality or to increase habitat for wildlife and pollinators, and some planted trees for purely aesthetic reasons. No matter the reason, all trees planted will improve the health of our environment by reducing air pollution and enhancing Tennessee&#x27;s magnificent tree canopy. TEC hopes participation in Tree Day instills public awareness of the value of trees while nurturing a culture of sustainability in our region. ​
