Spokane plans nature playground using fallen willow tree's wood, with 65% public support.
Following the fall of a 78-year-old willow tree at Finch Arboretum, a city survey showed that 65% of over 1,000 respondents support a nature playground using the willow wood and new trees from cuttings of the original. Spokane Community College students are growing 100 trees. The playground designs will be shared soon, with construction depending on funding. Donations and memories of the tree can be submitted for a photo mosaic display.
