PROGRAM GUIDELINES: By reserving trees here, you agree to the following: 

1. You understand this is a nonprofit volunteer activity intended to improve our environment and you will plant your tree on April 23-24 or a soon as possible after receiving your trees.
2. Double-check the spelling of your email address when checking out. If you do not receive a confirmation receipt but see a charge on your credit card, it means you have typed the wrong email address or the receipt went to your junk mailbox. Please check there before contacting us. If you do not see a charge on your credit card, your order did not go through and you should try again.
3. Tree species are subject to availability. In the unlikely event your tree species will not be available, we will offer a similar species, or a full refund if your prefer. We recommend ordering at least two trees. 
4. You agree to pick up the seedlings on April 22 from 9am-12pm. If your plans change and you are unavailable, you will arrange for a family member or friend to pick trees up for you. You understand that if you fail to pick trees up during that time, they may be donated to someone else. We may NOT be available by phone or email to help you find this information on the day of pick up, but you can find all of the needed information on this page and in the emails we are sending. You understand that pick-up site leaders are volunteers and are not employees of Green Interchange. 
5. Please bring your own plastic bag to the pickup location. You may also bring a few paper towels moistened with water to keep roots damp until you are ready to plant. 
6. You have read instructions on how to plant your tree, and you will plant the tree 4/22-4/24 where it is most likely to thrive, and you will avoid planting too close to structures or utility lines. 
7. You understand that if an extraordinary event beyond our control occurs, including but not limited to fire, flood, hurricane, earthquake, lightning, explosion, strikes, lockouts, slowdowns, shortage of energy supplies, pandemics, war, riots, and acts of governmental action prohibiting or impeding any party from performing its respective obligations for this event, we will do our best to deliver your trees during the agreed-upon day and time but may need to delay tree delivery. The extreme weather alternative date is April 30, 2022. In the unlikely event that we need to change the date, we will announce it ahead of time. 
8. You acknowledge that you have the physical capacity reasonably necessary to engage in this activity you waive all claims that you might have against Green Interchange and its agents, employees, sponsoring organizations, or other volunteers for bodily injuries that you might suffer arising out of your participation.
9.  You will receive confirmation and reminder emails for this event only. If you subscribe you will continue to receive our emails about other Green Interchange events and activities. 
10. After planting, you will take pictures of your tree and post them on social media with the hashtag #plantatreefortn and/or you will send pictures or feedback to us to let us know how your tree is doing. If you are in Davidson County, you will register your qualified tree on the Root Nashville Tree Plotter one year after planting it.

Planting trees offer​​​s great benefits including increased property values, cleaning our air and water, providing shade and habitat for wildlife, and so much more. The program was launched in 2021 and we have planted over 17,000 trees to date. If you have friends or family in Georgia, please check out our Plant a Tree for Georgia page - tree pickups will be on April 1, 2023. Your support also helps Green Interchange do our work of planting trees near roadways, waterways, and in other public spaces. Thank you for your participation!

Tree seedlings planted in Tennessee will count toward Tennessee Environmental Council's goal of 1 million trees. Tree seedlings planted in Davidson County, which survive one full year after planting and are registered through a simple process, will also count toward the Root Nashville goal of 500,000 trees.
