Special Tree-Planting Event, this Saturday, Nov 18

Neighborhood-Wide Tree Planting
and
Magdeburg Oak Planting
Saturday, Nov 18th

The neighborhood will be participating with the Nashville Tree Foundation in a demonstration tree planting, focusing on selecting appropriate trees for planting under utility lines. NES is also a partner in the project and purchased the 35 trees being planted. Residents whose properties were approved for the trees will be assisted with the digging and planting by about 30-40 volunteers recruited by the Tree Foundation.

Meet at the corner of 5th and Monroe at 10:00 AM to get equipment and find volunteers to help. Neighbors who are not planting their own tree are encouraged to come out and participate in the whole effort.

SPECIAL EVENT - YOU ARE INVITED
In addition to the demonstration tree planting, a rather significant event will occur at 10:45 in Morgan Park with the planting of the Magdeburg Oak. The Oak is a gift to Nashville from the people of Magedeburg, Germany, Nashville`s Sister city.

Mayor Purcell is expected to participate with representatives from Sister Cities and Metro Parks and Greenways to plant the tree.

It will be a part of landscaping along a new Greenway spur to be designated the Magdeburg Greenway. We hope you will come to share in this celebratory tree planting event.
