Spokane Conservation District and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are working together to empower local youth to get involved in conservation work!
Using funding from an EPA environmental justice award, Spokane CD worked with students last summer to plant and care for hundreds of trees in Airway Heights and Spokane Valley— targeting underserved neighborhoods that need more tree canopy coverage. Participating students will receive stipends covering books and tuition at Spokane Community College, setting them up for future success.
This project was also supported by The Lands Council, SNAP, and the Pacific Education Institute— providing comprehensive environmental education and community involvement.
Thank you, Spokane CD, for helping inspire the next generation of natural resource conservation and forestry professionals!
Palouse Conservation District’s FLOURISH program is a farmer-led effort advancing soil health and climate resilience across the Inland Northwest.
Generations of farming along Hangman Creek have faced erosion and water quality challenges. Through a partnership between the Spokane and Pine Creek Conservation Districts and the Washington State Department of Ecology, local landowners are restoring natural stream channels, planting native vegetation, and stabilizing creek banks, all while keeping working lands productive. Together, they’re proving that voluntary conservation benefits both farms and fish.
