SPOKANE, Wash. Today until noon there will a drive-thru “Free Tree Giveaway,” at the Community School and On-Track Academy as a way to increase Spokane’s urban canopy.
Chelsea Updegrove, Lands Council canopy coordinator, said that trees provide a myriad of benefits for the community and that by planting a tree they are doing their part for Earth Day.
“The importance of everybody in our community doing their part to plant trees is critical for our city to have a thriving urban canopy and protected environment,” she said.
Aside from providing oxygen and air quality, she said that trees provide habitats for wildlife and more trees on a property increases home value.
