NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â More than a year after roughly 100 trees were uprooted by the March 2020 tornado, dozens of new saplings are in the ground at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park.
On Sunday, a group of volunteers helped park rangers plant the final nine trees that were donated by the Tennessee State Park Conservancy. This has been going on for a year that people have been coming together to help us fix up the park after the storm, said Tennessee State Park Ranger Jed Hall. Just like Nashville came together after the tornado, we ve seen that time and time again as we ve tried to fix the trees and damage that happened in the park.
