Events

The Conservancy believes in the power of connecting people to nature. Our events are designed to give participants a unique view of lands we protect and an understanding of why they matter. We also work to instill the value of natural places in our community to raise up a human support structure for the earth here in the Inland Northwest.

Update: English Point Project Moved to Marie Creek Trail (with Idaho Trails Association)

Location Update: Beginner-Friendly Trail Project – Now at Marie Creek!

We’re excited to partner with the Idaho Trails Association on a fantastic volunteer trail project—our first opportunity like this in North Idaho! While many of our projects take place in Spokane, we’re thrilled to expand our reach and support stewardship efforts in this beautiful region.

May 9
Marie Creek Trail #241 (near Coeur d’Alene)

Important update: The original project at English Point has been postponed due to a timber sale in the area. We’re looking forward to rescheduling that project in the future, but in the meantime, we’re excited to shift this opportunity to Marie Creek!


About the Project
Join us for a day of trail stewardship—no experience needed! Marie Creek is a beautiful trail just outside Coeur d’Alene. This project will focus on improving trail sustainability by addressing water pooling issues and building water bars to reduce erosion. We’ll also be scouting the area for additional work planned later this season.


What to Expect

  • A beginner-friendly hike (under 3 miles with minimal elevation gain)
  • Moderate trail work (digging, drainage improvements, and tool use)
  • A hands-on opportunity to learn or build trail maintenance skills
  • A supportive, team-oriented volunteer environment

  • Drive Time: ~10 minutes from Hayden
