Arbor Day Celebration

Spokane is now in its 13th year of recognition as a member of the National Arbor Day Foundation’s “Tree City, USA” program, recognizing the city’s commitment to maintaining and increasing the number of trees in the community. The John A. Finch Arboretum, host of this year’s local Arbor Day celebration, is home to 65 acres of land and 2,000 trees representing 600 species from around the globe. Saturday’s events welcome kids and adults of all ages to celebrate the trees of Spokane. Featuring activities on tree-care education, guided tours of the arboretum and tips on helping your garden come to life, spend an afternoon at Spokane’s interactive “outdoor classroom” in west Spokane.
