A wonderful group of volunteers from Refugee and Immigrant Connections and Manzanita House joined us to pot seedlings - in just 2 hours, they potted over 800 quaking aspen seedlings! These trees will be planted in riparian areas this fall, helping to restore wetland areas. Thank you to these volunteers - as new Spokanites, they have moved to this area from all over the world, and are already making their new home a healthier, greener place.
