Trees Donated to Nashville by Hale & Hines Nursery

In the aftermath of the March 2020 tornado that devastated parts of Nashville, then the derecho that followed in May, parts of Nashville suffered a significant loss of trees. This compounded the already reduced urban canopy which has been strongly affected in the last 10 years by development pressure, tree diseases and old age, which has cost the city an estimated 9,000 trees per year, according to a state estimate.

Hale & Hines Nursery donated 1,000 trees to the Metro Tree Advisory Committee. It is this spirit of generosity and the high quality of their product that led to Terry Hines’s induction into the TNLA Hall of Fame in 2019.

Patricia Miller, Chair of the Metro Tree Advisory Committee, says of this donation, “To make this endeavor successful, different groups came together, developing systems for future similar efforts and forging partnerships that I think will endure. All of this will benefit the community.”

TNLA is proud to count Terry Hines and Hales & Hines Nursery as loyal members and a great example of the community-minded spirit of the professionals our organization represents.
