On a beautiful spring day, the birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and over 200 volunteers gathered at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge for our Earth Fest event. Volunteers were from all over and all ages, and they had one thing in common: a love for the natural world and a desire to make a positive impact on the environment on Earth Day.
The winter solstice is a time of year when the days are shortest and the nights are longest. It is a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the new one. For those of us living in the Inland Northwest, it is also a time to consider how we can protect and conserve our natural environment.
Guardian Life has been a community partner of The Lands Council since 2017. Over the years, they have generously supported TLC by sponsoring the Spokane River Clean-Up, volunteering at tree plantings, and so much more!

One of the hardest parts of living through a global pandemic is the missed connections with members of your community. Back in the day, you would volunteer or attend an event and meet a new friend, a neighbor. You would realize how much you have in common, you might know similar people, and you could earn something new. The ability to create organic conversations and connections has been put on the back burner for well, almost two years. Although we are not in a post-pandemic world (and we may never be), the opportunity to connect with our community is slowly happening again - and we are all ready for it.
This year, The Lands Council is partnering with The Inland Northwest Land Conservancy, along with Avista and US Fish & Wildlife Service for our annual Reforest Spokane Day. And YOU can help us plant 2,000 native trees and shrubs in this critical wildlife and recreation corridor on Saturday, October 23 from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm.
