Established in 1966, Dishman Hills Conservancy (DHC) is the oldest land trust in Washington. The conservancy’s mission is to permanently protect Dishman Hills while connecting people to nature through conservation, education, recreation, and stewardship. DHC has a lean staff, hardworking board of directors, and hundreds of members and volunteers from the greater Spokane community.
DHC offers several ways for everyone to enjoy nature and get involved. The organization offers a variety of guided hikes, philosophy walks, Yoga in the Hills sessions, volunteer opportunities, and more. As a recent donor noted, “It’s part of the community and has wonderful activities.” Check out DHC’s calendar of events at Dishmanhills.org.
DHC also engages the next generation of conservationists with a Kids in the Hills program, offering hands-on activities for elementary age students to enjoy time in nature while learning about ecology and natural sciences. In 2024, over 500 students participated from elementary schools and education groups, all put on by volunteers from the conservancy’s education committee.
Sept. 30 is DHC’s annual fundraising dinner. If you love the Dishman Hills, plan to join DHC for this important event or make a donation to support the organization’s mission. Visit Dishmanhills.org for more info.
