Plants for Fire Survivors
The Washington Community Tree Recovery Campaign – a partnership between the Arbor Day Foundation, the Washington State Nursery and Landscape Association, the Okanogan Conservation District and the Methow Conservancy– will distribute 8,300 new trees this year to residents in Okanogan County who were affected by record-breaking wildfires in 2014 & 2015. These new trees will be free of charge, and help to replace trees damaged and destroyed by back-to-back “megafire” seasons.
Okanogan Conservation District is hosting the April 2nd distribution event at Rawson's Store outdoor lot (corner of 2nd and Rose in Okanogan). Doors open to the general public from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Fire survivors with invitations may enter one hour earlier at 10 a.m.
Limit 20 plants per person, either Ponderosa Pine or Chokecherry.
