receives Arbor Day grant
The Idaho Nursery and Landscape Association (INLA), in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL), Avista, Rocky Mountain Power, and Idaho Power, is pleased to announce the 2014 Arbor Day Grant recipients. This program helps cities celebrate Arbor Day, plant appropriate trees for energy conservation and fosters a stronger relationship between Idaho communities and the Nursery and Utility Industries. We received 64 Arbor Day grant applications for 2014 and were able to fund 45 of them. An Arbor Day Grant of $300 will be given to the following communities for “Planting Idaho”: The City of Cottonwood was one of the grant recipients. The celebration of Arbor Day represents a priceless opportunity for kids and adults alike to take positive action to make their world a better place and to learn about trees and the environment. The first celebration of Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872. Arbor Day is officially celebrated in the U.S. and Idaho on the last Friday in April (April 25th this year). However communities may be celebrating on a different day due to the climate and planting conditions in their area. This year, help your city celebrate trees by celebrating Arbor Day and Planting Idaho! |
