Ghertner & Company proudly congratulates Harpeth Trace Estates HOA for its certification as a tree sanctuary by the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council in December 2024.
Harpeth Trace, a unique community outside Nashville near Percy Warner Park, boasts over 100 trees in its common areas. To achieve the sanctuary certification, the community identified 23 unique tree species, all native to Tennessee.
The Nashville Tree Foundation and homeowner Vicki Turner in Sugartree, which is also managed by Ghertner & Company, helped the community identify trees and supported Harpeth Trace throughout the certification process. Sugartree HOA is a Tennessee Urban Forestry Council-certified level four arboretum, which you can learn more about here.
Harpeth Trace board and landscape committee member Dillon Blankenship and homeowner Jennifer Kimball contributed to the project.
Blankenship noted the community’s excitement regarding the tree sanctuary.
“The certification acknowledges our neighborhood’s exceptional natural space and commitment to using best management practices when maintaining its trees, “ Blankenship shared.
