Think you have the biggest, oldest tree in Middle Tennessee? The Nashville Tree Foundation is hosting the 26th annual Big Old Tree Contest to honor and preserve some of the oldest and largest trees within Davidson Country.
Entry deadline is April 3 to nominate trees of any species. They can be trees on your property or trees on family, friends and public properties. Whether the tree is in Belle Meade or along Cumberland River, simply fill out the entry form and you’re done! Winners will be announced during the High Tree Party at the end of April.
Since the Nashville Tree Foundation’s beginning, the organization has dubbed over 500 champions of the contest, with 44 winners in 2012. In addition, the group has planted over 8,000 trees within the Nashville area. The contest is to promote and encourage tree awareness, while keeping inventory of the city’s largest trees.
Do you have a large tree but unsure what the species is or even how to properly care for it? It could be a Red Maple or even Tennessee’s state tree, the Tulip Poplar. Call the Parke Company for proper tree service of your big beauty.
