For years, Spokane Riverkeeper and our partners have removed tens of thousands of pounds of garbage from the Spokane River. We’ve worked alongside volunteers, outfitters, cities, and land managers to protect this treasured waterway—but the trash keeps coming back. We sent Ecology a letter and data asking for help.

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!

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.
