This community tree-planting event is a collaboration between The Lands Council, Inland Northwest Land Conservancy (INLC), Spokane County Parks, US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
This event is offered exclusively to TLC members at no cost as part of our commitment to providing enriching experiences that deepen your connection to the land. As a member, you have the unique opportunity to engage with this intimate, sensory exploration of Willow in a small group setting.

Join us as we listen to the sounds of willow, lay with the roots, smell the medicinal bark and leaves, and even taste a bit of willow’s flavor profile on the pallet. This intentional focus and opening of our sensory channels – the learning tools of our ancestors – is a powerful way to learn about the ecological medicine of Willow and its crucial role in the watersheds of our precious public lands.
The Lands Council is excited to host our annual Spokane River Cleanup, and we’re partnering with Spokane River Keeper and Spokane River Forum to make this event impactful across the city!
