Accomplishments

2012 was an exciting and successful year for The Lands Council.

Amongst our many accomplishments, we:

·          Played an important role in the passing of a statewide beaver management bill, ultimately protecting beaver and the wetlands they create.

·          Expanded our environmental education program, Project SUSTAIN into five North Idaho schools in addition to a set of Spokane schools.

·          Conducted extensive restoration efforts on Deep and Coulee creeks this year, resulting in a higher-than-expected success rate.

·          Continued our efforts to protect roadless areas on our National Forests, working toward designating more Wilderness.

·          Hosted our second annual Reforest Spokane Day with over 500 volunteers, where we planted 5,000 native Ponderosa pine trees in one single day.

·          Strengthened our collaborations with local timber companies, presenting comments on forest plan revisions as a unit.

·          Established a working group of organizations working toward restoring Hangman Creek.

In 2013, The Lands Council will remain the leading voice in conservation in the Inland Northwest. Together, we can truly preserve and protect our Inland Northwest forests, water and wildlife through advocacy, education, effective action, and community engagement.

Amongst our continued efforts:

·         A major part of our work will continue to focus on our National Forests. We are working to map reserves, corridors and active management plans that support our goals to protect old growth-dependant species.

·         Restoration of our area watersheds including Deep, Coulee and Hangman Creeks will continue in an effort to stabilize stream banks and increase water quality.

·         Team Beaver will continue to manage beaver throughout the region in efforts to create more valuable wetlands.

·         TLC will remain involved with improving the water quality in the Spokane River, with a focus on PCB's, and will continue our outreach to our community about risks associated with toxics in the Spokane River.

·         We will continue offering opportunities for local students to learn outside the walls of their classroom, instilling a sense of environmental stewardship and community service.

§         And once again, we will work toward increasing our urban canopy of native trees in efforts to keep our river and air clean!


 

 

Thank you for helping us continue our work to protect and revitalize our forests, water, and wildlife!
