City Share | Local Spotlight Series: Preston Roberts

Since March 2008, Take Root has committed itself to a seemingly simple goal: to plant trees. The initiative was dreamt up by members of Leadership Chattanooga in fall of 2007, who partnered with the city's Urban Forestry Council and the Chattanooga Tree Commission. Together, they set out to double the percentage of tree canopy cover in Chattanooga's urban core over the course of three years. To date, Take Root has planted over 600 trees all across Chattanooga's downtown area.
