There is no better way to start the summer than volunteering for a clean river! Join us for a day of community action and river care.
Would you like to lead volunteer river cleanups along the Spokane River and our local waterways? Volunteer leads will guide groups with cleanup supplies along the shoreline of the river, providing guidance and safety while removing trash. This is a great way to support a healthy river and get some exercise while you’re at it!
Join Spokane Riverkeeper July 10th for a flat water full moon paddle! Bring your own boat, either a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, and float with us from the parking lot at the UW Medical School, and float approximately .5 miles downstream and back under the Buck Moon. While we float, our team will be available to share insightful information about the local ecosystem, river history, and our work on the river along the way.
Join the Spokane Riverkeeper to learn about the results of this year’s Community Science Study. Over the course of the year over 35 volunteers took more than 500 water samples and associated data that show the extent of sediment pollution in the Spokane River from Hangman Creek. You’ll learn about this year’s study results and how volunteer data can be used to support policy decisions.
Help us to collect benthic macroinvertebrates in the Spokane River. Macro communities are biological indicators of water quality and ecosystem health and we want to know more about them in the Spokane River. We will be teaming up with experts from Eastern Washington University for this 1.5 hour event that will teach you to sample, collect, and identify this underwater bugs.
