care practices, especially in regard to trees.
In 2011, Coeur d’Alene High School, located on 4th Street in
Coeur d’Alene, was recognized for having a variety of tree species, the retention
of large native ponderosa pine trees, the use of shade trees in parking lots,
safety zones around trees to prevent damage from turf care equipment, use of
proper planting practices, and proper pruning.
The landscape also includes a variety of ornamental shrubs that make the
school grounds aesthetically pleasing.
