Event overview

Earth Day Celebration - Nashville Platoon & Nashville Tree Foundation

Join Us for an Earth Day Celebration!

Come out to join the Nashville Platoon in partnership with the Nashville Tree Foundation for an exciting Earth Day celebration at Centennial Park. Our goal is to distribute 1,200 trees!

This tradition has become a beloved mainstay to the people of the greater Nashville area and is one of the lowest barrier opportunities for people in Nashville to plant new trees across Davidson County.

The Nashville Tree Foundation will offer a variety of trees ranging from small to large in size and include native, conifer, evergreen, and deciduous species. All trees should fit in a car/truck or make a nice companion on the bus!

When choosing a species, please consider the available space in your yard for roots and branches as well as how much sun your yard gets each day. The list of species that we offer changes from year to year.

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
