Want a Tree? | Environment

The Spokane Urban Forestry, a program tied to the City of Spokane Parks and Recreation, is looking to plant new trees in the yards of neighbors affected by the construction on South Grand from 29th to High Drive.

Angel Spell, Urban Forester, said to the attendees of the Comstock Neighborhood Council meeting, that neighbors will be canvassed this summer to find interest in who would like a tree. Space is a requirement in the official decision on who gets a tree.

Side streets, one to two blocks in from Grand, also have an opportunity to receive a tree from the program.

These trees when approved by the neighbors and urban foresters will be planted in the fall.
