The Spokane Audubon Society (SAS) advocates for birds and their habitats in the Inland Northwest and connects people with nature. But did you know the Spokane Audubon Society also collaborates with other groups and agencies to secure public lands? That work helps protect bird and other wildlife habitat from development. It also provides public access for birding and other outdoor recreation.
Decades ago, SAS helped the Inland Northwest Land Conservancy (INLC) secure what became the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Reardan Audubon Lake Wildlife Area. Several years ago, SAS helped Dishman Hills Conservancy add the Wilson property to the natural area in Spokane Valley. Just this year, SAS contributed to INLC’s campaign to acquire the Glen Tana property on the Little Spokane River to connect the Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve to Riverside State Park.
SAS members also volunteer with habitat restoration and other conservation work on public lands like Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge and Swanson Lakes Wildlife Area. We lead bird walks at all of these places and many more to help you enjoy everything from colorful avocets to noisy wood-pewees.
If you care about public lands like SAS does, you care about birds. Learn more at Audubonspokane.org.
