This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate, celebrates Tennessee Tree Day on March 21, 2026, acknowledging Tennessee's rich biodiversity and the vital benefits of its forests. It highlights the ongoing need to replenish trees lost to development and disasters and commends the Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC), a nonprofit organization, for its decade-plus efforts in organizing large-scale tree planting events across all ninety-five counties, which have resulted in over 1.1 million native trees being planted with the help of numerous volunteers and partnerships with state agencies and local organizations. The resolution further honors the TEC's commitment to providing seedlings, educational materials, and coordination for future tree-planting initiatives, recognizing the strong public support for these efforts.
