Free trees for Davidson County residents

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — What if we told you there's a free tree available for you, and it comes with delivery, help with planting, and watering reminders?

The Root Nashville campaign is offering free trees for residents of Davidson County in an effort to plant as many trees as possible in the area.

You can choose from five different native species, and there are several ways to get the trees in the ground.

How?

• Homeowners fill out a form and order up to 3 trees for their yard
• Community members can apply for 10 or more trees for a large yard, business, HOA, place of worship or other shared space
• Nashvillians can offer up a suggestion for where to plant the trees on public land — maybe a park or a street — on HUB Nashville.

If you want to get a free tree, the deadline to order one or multiple is August 31.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
