Welcome to the Community Canopy Website!

Community Canopy is a tree care education partnership of the cities of Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, Spokane and the Spokane County Conservation District, with assistance from the University of Idaho Extension and Washington State University  Extension.  The goal of Community Canopy is to have healthy and sustainable community forests to provide maximum environmental and visual benefits.

To move toward having healthy trees that are growing toward maturity, Community Canopy's emphasis is on planting trees correctly, providing adequate water, and protecting trees from damage by turf equipment, including mowers and weed whips.

Community Canopy provides exhibits, workshops, and in-the-field training for turf and landscape care workers.  Through the assistance of a Tree Care Educator and the Extension Master Gardeners, information and educational opportunities are also offered to churches and homeowners associations.
