Nashville Highland Rim Forest
The Nashville Highland Rim Forest (NHRF) is an urban forest and geobiological area within the combined city-county limits of Metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee. The forest consists of a distinctive, nearly continuous, mature hardwood tree canopy in an area of steep to moderate slopes and rugged topography. It is located on a rim of hills that encircles the Central Basin in which Nashville sits. NHRF is situated on the eastern escarpment of a larger, multi-county expanse of elevated uplands that form the Western Highland Rim physiographic region and ecoregion. The NHRF covers an area of 97,000 acres. Four other urban forests that currently claim to be among the "world's largest" urban forests sum to a total of less than half the size of NHRF. Consequently, NHRF appears to be the largest urban forest within the city limits of any major city (population >500,000) in the world.
