~ Spokane, Wash. - The City of Spokane Parks & Recreation has recently conducted a survey to gather public input on the future of Finch Arboretum's iconic 78-year-old willow tree. The tree, which had succumbed to gravity and old age earlier this year, holds a special place in the hearts of many community members.
Over 1,000 people participated in the survey, with an overwhelming majority of 65% expressing their desire for a nature-based playground using willow wood components and replacement trees from cuttings of the original tree. In fact, students from Spokane Community College's Greenhouse/Nursery program have already taken on the task of growing 100 trees from cuttings off the special tree.
Excitingly, interested community members can expect to see concepts for this nature-based play area in the coming months. However, a timeline for construction will be determined once funding becomes available. For those who wish to contribute to its construction, donations can be made through a designated link.

In addition to this project, the public is also invited to share their photos and memories of the willow tree. These submissions will be included in a photo mosaic that will be displayed at the arboretum in the future. To participate, individuals can use this link.
The City of Spokane Parks & Recreation is responsible for managing nearly 120 properties across 4,000 acres of park land. This includes manicured parks, natural lands, aquatic centers, golf courses, sports complexes, and an arboretum. With a mission to improve the health and quality of life for the community, they offer hundreds of recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities.
