Clarksville to offer 100 discounted trees after tornadoes

CLARKSVILLE — Two tornadoes that touched down in Clarksville in June 2014 took a chunk out of the city tree population.
  A 2013 city of Clarksville tree inventory showed 1,196 public trees — along the street, in parks and other public areas, said Meredith Borchardt, program manager and field coordinator with Trees Forever. After the tornadoes, 103 public trees — 8.6 percent — were destroyed enough that the city removed them.
  The adverse weather impacted homeowners as well.
  "A lot of people have been talking to the city about wanting to get trees," said Borchardt, who also serves on the Clarksville Trees Forever committee.
