SpoCanopy’s goal is to increase Spokane’s urban canopy by planting free street trees neighborhoods with low canopy coverage and disproportionate environmental disparities, so that all communities have access to the benefits of street trees and green spaces. 

Street trees provide a wide variety of benefits such as storm water mitigation, keeping our Spokane River clean, providing habitat for urban wildlife, increasing property values, providing shade, decreasing energy usage, and lowering temperature on the streets, sidewalks, and overall neighborhood. Trees also help to boost immune systems by reducing area pollution and air-borne particles. Studies have shown that time spent in nature and around trees can even reduce stress.
