Northwest Youth Corps awarded grant to plant more trees around Tacoma
The City of Tacoma and surrounding cities will soon have more trees. This is because the Northwest Youth Corps was recently awarded millions of dollars to increase the urban tree canopy.
More than 300 young people in Washington are part of the Northwest Youth Corps, which works on different conservation projects throughout the state.
On Thursday an urban and community forestry crew was working to plant an oak tree and remove invasive plants in Lakewood, just outside of Tacoma.
While the young people take part in the program, they get paid for their work, gain skills, and give back to the community.
“The project that we're working on really focuses on improving and making more green spaces around Tacoma and Pierce County,” said Mckinlee Traynor, a participant with the Northwest Youth Corps.
