Clarksville Now
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Trice’s Landing, located in the New Providence area, has received much-needed improvements to its riverbanks thanks to local volunteers and a matching grant from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Division of Forestry.
Grant money was used to plant native trees and small tree seedlings, helping to reduce soil erosion and water pollution in the area.
According to a release by Clarksville Parks and Recreation, most of the trees were planted on Nov. 17 by volunteers as well as Parks and Rec. employees.
“I appreciate everyone who came out to achieve our goal to reforest this area and to help provide education, awareness, and engagement on the importance of trees,” said Kathrine Killebrew, City Forester.
From the Home Front: Behind the scenes at Christmas on the Cumberland
There s nothing like the feeling of Christmastime.
A great thing to do this time of year is to simply drive around and take it all in. The sights and sounds are what really stirs up that nostalgic holiday feeling.
In our region, some favorite stops of mine are ones we all know and love, like the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, or Patti s 1880s Settlement in nearby Grand Rivers, Ky.
And, right here in Clarksville, we have Christmas On the Cumberland as the signature community holiday light show.
