Free Trees Available from City of Spokane Urban Forestry
We’d like to share an opportunity for you to receive a FREE tree for your yard.
Through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation’s Community Canopy program, the City’s Neighborhood Tree Program is giving away 500 trees this fall to help Spokane residents lower their energy costs, filter air and water pollutants, reduce stormwater runoff, and green-up your neighborhood. This is an exclusive offer for residents of the City of Spokane.
Order your new tree while supplies last! Choose from a variety of species including Chinese fringetree, Japanese snowbell, paperbark maple, scarlet oak, sweetgum, and American Hornbeam. Your 1- to 3-foot tree will be shipped directly to your house, ready for planting, all at no charge. Watch this short video about what to expect and how to plant your new tree.
You can reserve your free tree today at www.arborday.org/spokane. Trees will be shipped directly to you in October. If you have questions or need a little help, call 855-234-3801 or email info@arborday.org.
Use the online tool to determine the best planting location in your yard for maximum savings on your energy bill. This tool will also show other benefits and savings that will result from planting your new tree. Trees must be planted within private property boundaries, not on any City of Spokane public property, street right-of-way, planting or parking strip. In exchange for the free tree, you are expected to plant it in the location provided by the online tool and provide ongoing care and water.
Thank you for supporting a healthy community tree canopy and enhancing our urban forest.
