## Resource

Nashville’s parks are in serious trouble — half have less than 33% tree canopy, leaving kids and families exposed to brutal heat, especially after last year’s ice storm and harsh trimming policies. The Tree Conservation Corps chairman calls it “scandalous,” urging residents to demand more trees, funding, and arborists — with only one city arborist currently on staff. The hottest parks? Downtown spots like William Edmondson and Tony Rose, where concrete swallows shade. Now’s the time to act — contact local groups and city leaders before official data arrives in 2028.
