MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Educating and advocating for the conservation and improvement of Tennessee's environment, communities and public health.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Watershed Support Center Working with local communities to restore polluted streams in Tennessee through education, advocacy, and hands-on restoration projects/services. Tennessee Tree Project ​Our goal is to plant and care for one million native trees in Tennessee by 2025. Trees provide thousands of dollars of benefits each year including oxygen, reducing air pollution, improving water drainage, increasing property values, and improving human health. We have worked with the public and state agencies across Tennessee to distribute and plant trees in all 95 counties of Tennessee. As a result, Tennessee Environmental Council has planted 741,960 trees since 2007. In 2015, TEC was awarded the Friend of Forestry Award, by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Division of Forestry, for its tree-planting efforts. Come, Post Your Compost Through our Come, Post Your Compost campaign, Tennessee Environmental Council serves as a resource for food waste reduction across Tennessee by encouraging residents to keep tons of food scraps out of our landfills and put them back into our community’s hands and gardens. We also provide information on county-specific food recovery resources (local food banks and gleaning services) as well as information on how to backyard-compost. Generate Some Buzz Through Generate Some Buzz, we aim to engage hundreds of Tennesseans in establishing new pollinator habitat statewide. Since its launch in fall of 2020, we have already established over 75,000 square feet of new pollinator habitat in Tennessee. We welcome all gardens, both big and small! By participating in this program, Tennesseans are joining a vibrant community that is committed to protecting our pollinators, one plot at a time. Recycle Tennessee This program is designed to help individuals understand what is and is not accepted for recycling in our four target areas: Knoxville, Lebanon, Nashville, and Oak Hill.
