Metro Water Service (MWS) is required to plant 10,000 trees within a five year period.  Together with MWS and Cumberland River Compact, ULI Nashville Infrastructure Committee has helped identify two areas to help with these tree plantings.   Ewing Creek area is located in a FEMA ‘buy back’ areas, where MWS bought residential properties that have experienced repeated loss due to flooding, in order to restore the natural stream buffer.  This Tree Planting project will not only ease flooding in the area, but also help to improve water quality of the direct runoff into the stream. 

In addition to the buffer restoration efforts, a greenway is scheduled to be built in the area. Therefore, the trees will provide shade and will aesthetically enhance the area for future greenway uses.
