One Thousand Trees Helping to Green Super Bowl
(Tampa Bay, FL)- A thousand new trees have taken root in urban  
neighborhoods and wildlife areas throughout the Tampa Bay area as part  
of the overall "greening" of Super Bowl XLIII. The program kicked off  
in November and included more than a dozen tree planting projects  
leading up to the big game. Planting sites included wildlife refuge  
areas, school campuses, public parks, estuaries and riversides  
throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas County.

LOCAL STORY
New bill will require homebuilders to plant trees
(Nashville, TN)- Months of negotiations finally yielded legislation  
that would require Nashville's homebuilders to plant a certain number  
of trees on each open lot. The bill would require homebuilders to  
plant one tree for every 30-linear feet of street front in residential  
areas. Residential developers would be required to maintain seven  
trees per acre. If a homebuilder or developer doesn't comply with the  
potential new tree requirement, then Metro may seize their bonds for  
the project.
