Plant Arrangement Along Creek - Tennessee Environmental Council

Tennessee Environmental Council, February, 18 2012

On Saturday February 4, 2012 Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC) partnered with several Middle Tennessee communities to make a ‘tree’mendous impact. In total, 5611 trees were planted in Middle TN with the help of over 150 volunteers.

The group targeted waterways listed on the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s 303d list of impaired waterways. The trees will help reduce stormwater running off the land into the creek, reducing the pollutant load. In all, 5,000 trees were planted in Spring Hill, Gallatin, Lebanon and Murfreesboro on Feb. 4.
