HJR 907 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Memorials, Recognition - Tennessee Tree Day -

House Joint Resolution 907 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing "Tennessee Tree Day" on March 21, 2026, to celebrate annual tree-planting events organized by the Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC). It directly honors TEC's work, which has facilitated over 1.1 million native trees planted across all 95 counties since 2007 through partnerships with state agencies, volunteers, and local organizations. The resolution expresses official support for TEC's continued coordination of community tree-planting efforts, including a planned 100,000-tree event in 2026. As a symbolic measure (not a law), it does not create new programs or funding but formally acknowledges TEC's role in expanding Tennessee's tree canopy.
