Chainsaw Tree Art in Public Park

The Civic Association commissioned and installed a chainsaw sculpture in Jackson Square Park using the trunk of a 20-foot tree, contributing to the vibrancy of the city’s arts district. The project enhanced Tullahoma’s cultural identity by transforming a natural element into enduring public art. It had a broad community impact, fostering engagement across ages. Local social media and public interaction reflected strong community appreciation and pride.
