Tornado Survivor Tree Distribution

Tornado Survivor Tree Distribution

Date: December 7, 2024 | 9AM - 11AM

Location: Heritage Park Sports Complex

As the City of Clarksville remembers the devastation brought by the tornado that struck on December 9, 2023, the City honors the resilience of our community with a unique initiative. To commemorate the anniversary, the City will distribute free, 2' caliper trees to the first 150 survivor families, symbolizing growth, renewal, and hope. These families will be able to choose between an Oak, Maple, or flowering Dogwood tree to bring life and beauty to their properties once more.

To participate, surviving families must pre-register below and select their preferred tree species. Trees will be available for pickup on December 7, 2024, at Heritage Park, located at 1241 Peachers Mill Road.

In addition to the tree distribution, the City of Clarksville has partnered with Hands On Nashville to assist residents in planting these trees. This partnership is designed to provide additional support to survivor families and give the community an opportunity to come together in a spirit of service and solidarity.

“We hope this initiative brings a sense of renewal and growth to all affected families,” said Joe Pitts, Mayor of Clarksville. “By planting these trees, we’re not only honoring the strength and resilience of our community but also investing in a greener future.”

Residents who wish to volunteer and help tornado survivors plant their trees this holiday season are encouraged to join this meaningful cause by registering HERE. This event provides an opportunity for individuals and families to contribute to the healing and recovery of Clarksville, one tree at a time.
