The Lands Council is planting 500 trees to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of Expo ’74. They will plant free trees in low canopy neighborhoods to provide those residents with the benefits of an urban canopy. Please join them – they will teach you how to plant trees correctly, provide all necessary gear and equipment, and you can join them afterwards for a free meal from local food trucks! This is a family friendly event, and all ages are welcome. Thank you for supporting our urban canopy!

SpoCanopy is a program of City of Spokane Urban Forestry, in collaboration with The Lands Council. We want to ensure every person in every neighborhood in Spokane has access to trees and green space. That’s why we work with residents and volunteers to plant trees and beautify our city. Our goal is for every neighborhood in Spokane to have 30% canopy cover by 2030. Learn more about SpoCanopy here.
