Update: The Lands Council is still in THIRD PLACE in the 50 States for Good challenge presented by Toms of Maine! Please vote every day through Sept. 13th. You won't be cheating by doing so, trust me.

Here is what you're voting for, and yes, I will be reminding you constantly to vote:

The Lands Council
is excited to announce that their project, "Reforest Spokane Day," has been chosen as one of 20 finalists in Tom's of Maine's 50 States for Good challenge.

What exactly does this mean? This means that should the project win - Tom's of Maine will grant the funds to plant: 10,000 native Ponderosa Pines with the help of 500 Volunteers in ONE SINGLE DAY Right HERE is Spokane!!

Imagine Spokane with an additional 10,000 Ponderosa Pines! The mighty Ponderosa Pine is not only a native species to the Inland Northwest, but also:

  • Provides much-needed shade
  • Reduces Traffic Noise
  • Beautifies our City

You can vote HERE. You can vote once a day. So vote tomorrow. And the day after.

For information about how you can help promote "Reforest Spokane Day," please contact: Amanda Swan at (509) 209-2851 or aswan@landscouncil.org
