The Belmont Hillsboro Neighborhood Tree Canopy Program is a street planting and maintenance partnership between Belmont Hillsboro Neighbors, Inc. and Sound Forest supported by the annual fundraiser party, Wood for the ‘Hood.

The Program was started in 2010 when BHN was awarded a Tennessee Agriculture Enhancement Program (TAEP) Community Tree Planting matching grant from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Forestry Division. The goal was to improve the neighborhoods’ urban canopy by planting trees that grow above 40 feet at maturity. Fifty-five trees were planted in the initial installation.

The continuing efforts of the program now include under-story trees, maintenance and care of existing neighborhood trees and in some cases removal of damaged, diseased or dead trees. Thanks to the BHN/Sound Forest partnership and generous donors and volunteers like you, over 2,000 trees have been planted in the Belmont Hillsboro Neighborhood. 

The BHN Tree Canopy Program’s success continues through our annual fundraising party, Wood for the ‘Hood, a worthy fundraiser that is also a can't miss party hosted by BHN. Stay tuned for details for the next party!
