For healthy ecosystems, clean water, and future generations
Protecting and caring for the lands and waters essential to life and the well-being of communities in the Inland Northwest.
Working With Our Community
Building Connections
Inland Northwest Land Conservancy works with our community to identify and protect special places throughout the region. We protect private lands through legal agreements with landowners. We also work to improve lands under our management for habitat, clean water and air, and native plants. In recent years, the Conservancy has partnered with other agencies and community organizations to protect land for public enjoyment. Check out our projects under Where We Work and join us in protecting this beautiful area for years to come!

Spokane, Hangman Creek, and the Channeled Scablands.
