This spring, the Gonzaga Climate Center, in collaboration with The Lands Council, Spokane City Council Sustainability Action Subcommittee, 350 Spokane, and Kris Crocker, was awarded a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization’s (NOAA) National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) to conduct a community science urban heat island mapping campaign in the summer of 2022.

Thanks to funding from the Washington Department of Ecology, The Lands Council has been partnering with the City of Spokane to offer a STEM-based, practical hands-on curriculum on stormwater management through green infrastructure and low impact development to one middle or high school in the Spokane Public School District each year.

More and more people are looking to use our public lands and, well, that is what they are for. But not all of our public lands are accessible. A recent report found that over 9 million acres of federal public land do not have permanent legal access, the vast majority of this land is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
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!
