“The Lands Council, alongside our friends from Avista, is hosting five days of SpoCanopy Tree Plantings on May 7th - 11th in honor of Expo ‘74+50! We have a lofty goal to plant 100 trees per day for 5 days… that’s 500 trees total to plant a SpoCanopy Expo Forest that will be cherished for years to come! We will plant in different neighborhoods each day. Locations are TBD.
Let's come together to nurture nature and leave a legacy of a lush urban canopy. These SpoCanopy Tree Plantings are an opportunity to plant more than just trees – they're a chance to sow the seeds of change, sustainability, and a greener tomorrow. We can't wait to see you there!
Please come with a pair of gloves and your own water bottle.
