The Sylvan Park Neighborhood Association has been actively working to maintain our established neighborhood trees, replace dying/dead trees, and plant new trees.  We’ve been partnering with local horticulturists, nonprofits and neighbors to provide ongoing support for our Sylvan Park tree canopy.

Recent efforts to-date have included working with the Nashville Tree Foundation and Metro for volunteer tree pruning events, the removal of several dead trees, and the addition of 34 new trees in the fall of 2022.

The Nashville Tree Foundation and Metro will again support the planting of additional trees in Sylvan Park right-of-way areas this fall, and a volunteer planting date will be held on Saturday, November 4th from 9am to 12:00pm!  Nashville Tree Foundation staff will be on site for a tree planting demonstration and to help volunteers install the trees.  We're anticipating the addition of another 34 new trees (including a mix of 9 different species) to Sylvan Park right-of-way areas this fall!  We welcome volunteers who would like to participate in this training and planting event.  If you'd like to help increase the tree canopy in Sylvan Park, please use the following link to register as a volunteer for this upcoming event:  https://mobilize.us/s/DsaUDZ

Plus, watch for details on a community tree planting day in February 2024 that will offer Sylvan Park residents an opportunity to obtain free trees from the Nashville Tree Foundation for their property.

We hope you're able to join us as we add more new trees to Sylvan Park!
