The Lands Council is planting 500 trees to celebrate the 50th 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!
Emerson-Garfield folks are welcome to request a tree, as well as volunteer at the plantings!
How to sign up – More information can be found here.
Cost – FREE to attend and volunteer and FREE to sign up and receive a tree!
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.

Are you tired of graffiti plaguing your neighborhood as much as we are? Well, I could use the many great minds we have in our community to come together and brainstorm some solutions to our growing problem. For our presenter for the evening, we have Pollyanne Birge from the Office of Neighborhood Services coming to talk to us about some solutions that have been proposed and have shown some success in other cities and even some of our own neighborhoods here in Spokane. So, if you’re tired of seeing “SLIME” and “SKUZ” and other eye sores around the city, please come and participate in this gathering so that we, as a community, can come up with solutions to push up to the higher levels of city government. Hope to see you all there and have a safe holiday weekend!
Respectfully, Tyler N. Tamoush Minnehaha CA Representative CA Neighborhood Safety Committee Chairperson
