WE WORK TO PROTECT & RESTORE THE SPOKANE RIVER WITH COMMUNITY CONNECTION
WE WORK TO PROTECT & RESTORE THE SPOKANE RIVER WITH COMMUNITY CONNECTION
We're highlighting a partner whose support goes far beyond financial contributions. Numerica Credit Union has shown up time and again for the Spokane River—from sponsoring events to rolling up their sleeves at cleanups. Their recent gift through the CARES for Kids program is helping bring river-based science education to life for students at The Spokane Salish School. Read more about how Numerica is helping us build a cleaner, healthier, more connected future for the Spokane River and the community that depends on it.
In partnership with Waterkeeper Alliance and other Waterkeeper organizations across 19 states, Spokane Riverkeeper collected samples at sites upstream and downstream of wastewater treatment plant discharges and permitted biosolids application sites. The results show clear signs that biosolids—treated sewage sludge commonly used as fertilizer—are introducing high levels of PFAS into our environment.
Join us and the Spokane Indians Baseball Club’s Redband Rally for a shoreline river cleanup! This cleanup is part of our ongoing partnership with the Redband Rally, which has provided key grant funding to support our cleanup efforts throughout the Spokane River watershed this summer.

Join the Spokane Riverkeeper August 9th to float the Spokane River! Bring your own boat, either a kayak, tube, raft, or paddleboard (with very short fins!). While we float, our team will share insightful information about the local ecosystem, river history, and our work on the river along the way.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Paint & Paddle trip! We spent two unforgettable days immersed in the wild beauty of the Spokane River, paddling, painting, and connecting with one another and the landscape. See more from our journey here!
