Restoration Efforts

There are several hundred acres of habitat near the Spokane River and Hangman Creek that are in serious need of restoration. The Lands Council is excited to head up several projects to restore these areas.

Projects:

Plant Nursery - On April 5th The Lands Council needs help planting nearly 150 bare root plants that have been purchased from the Spokane County Conservation District. These plants will be tended over the summer on the roof of the Saranac Building and will be used this fall in several restoration projects. We will need several volunteers to help plant the bare-root stock plants and tend them over the summer to ensure they are healthy to plant in the fall.

Sandifur Bridge Restoration - On April 20th, The Lands Council is leading volunteers to pull invasive plant species and plant native plants at Sandifur Bridge in celebration of Earth Day.

Campion Park Restoration - This Fall, the plants that have been tended all summer will be used for a large restoration project at Campion Park on Hangman Creek. More information will be posed closer to the project date.

Peaceful Valley Restoration Efforts - In conjunction with the Peaceful Valley Neighborhood, The Lands Council is participating in a major planning effort that will lead to the restoration and redevelopment of the Peaceful Valley River Walk Park and Glove Field as well as a trail that will connect all the way up to Huntington Park in Downtown Spokane.

If you are interested in participating in any of these project, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Brian Walker, Watershed Program Director at bwalker@landscouncil.org or 1-509-209-2408
