Coeur d'Alene Offering Free Street Trees

The City of Coeur d'Alene is giving away free street trees to homeowners through the CDA Re-Leaf program.

Starting February 5, 2025, interested residents can contact the Urban Forester with the Coeur d'Alene Parks Department to sign up.

Winter Safety Tips to Keep
Your Pets Warm and Protected

As temperatures drop, it’s important to take extra precautions to keep pets safe and comfortable during winter. Providing warm indoor spaces and avoiding unattended exposure to space heaters can prevent accidents. When venturing outside, pets may need additional protection such as coats, sweaters, paw wax, or booties to stay warm. Signs that a pet is too cold include shivering, curling up, slow movement, whining, and seeking shelter. Owners should also be mindful of toxic substances like salt and antifreeze, wiping their pet’s paws after outdoor play. Ensuring pets have access to unfrozen water is crucial for hydration, and a quick honk before starting the car can help prevent harm to animals that may be hiding under the hood for warmth.

Why Strong Relationships Are
Essential for Brain Function

Social connections are vital not only for emotional well-being but also for maintaining brain health. Engaging with others can boost cognitive function, reduce stress, combat loneliness, encourage neuroplasticity, and improve memory and learning. These interactions activate key brain regions, lower harmful cortisol levels, and foster new neural connections, enhancing overall mental resilience. At Wired2Learn Treatment and Learning Center, building strong relationships is a core value, especially for children with learning disabilities. A supportive network of peers, mentors, and family members fosters a sense of belonging, boosts confidence, and aids both academic and emotional growth. Learn More Here…
