Looking Back and Moving Forward: 30 Years of Land Conservation

For over three decades, the Inland Northwest Land Conservancy has been working with our community to safeguard the special places that make the Inland Northwest area so unique. When we first started, our goal was simple: protect the land that defines the character of our region. Since then, we’ve partnered with local landowners, community members, and other organizations to do just that. Thanks to these collaborations, we’ve been able to conserve over 27,000 acres of land for wildlife, clean air and water, and connecting our community to nature.  

Creating Connection with the Outdoors   

Our work isn’t just about protecting lands. The lands we conserve are the places where families hike, kids discover nature, and wildlife finds a safe haven. These are the spaces that make our region special, contributing to our quality of life and offering everyone a chance to enjoy the outdoors. 

One project we’re particularly proud of is Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve, a local treasure that was once at risk of being lost to public use. Thanks to the support of our members and partners, this special place is now permanently protected and open to the community. It’s a place where people can connect with nature, relax, and find inspiration.

Looking to the Future 

As we look back on decades of conservation work, we’re also looking forward to what’s next. This fall, we are launching a plan to help us complete our most ambitious land protection project ever and to ensure that special places like Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve are around for generations to come. With your help, we’ll be able to fund new conservation projects, take even better care of the lands we’ve already protected and expand our efforts to connect people with nature. This campaign is a crucial step in ensuring we can keep doing this important work, especially in the face of challenges like climate change, urban growth, and habitat loss.
