ABOUT THIS WEBINAR on 4/28/21:

The TAEP (Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program) grant fund for community tree planting is provided by the 2008 State Legislature to the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The community tree planting component of TAEP is administered by the Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry.  The goal of TAEP community tree planting grant is to increase the tree resource base in cities, towns, and communities across the state of Tennessee. Trees are work horses for our communities, providing energy savings through shading, storm water mitigation, rain interception, and air quality improvement through filtration and absorption. These are direct cost saving benefits to communities.

Diane Warwick is Tennessee’s Urban & Community Forestry Program Coordinator. After receiving her BS from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in Natural Resources and Land Management she worked for the National Park Service, then returned to UTK and received her MS in Forest Biology.  Diane has worked for the Forestry Division for 22 years and has extensive background in forestry related issues.
