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.

Date & Time: Sunday, October 19 | 9 a.m.
Location: Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve
Duration: 2.5 hours
Please join volunteer hike docent Joe Spitz for a hike at Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve on Sunday, October 19th, starting at 9 am.
Discover what connects Waikiki Springs to Manito Park, Whitworth University, and the Nine Mile Falls Dam. This 3.5-mile guided hike will take you through diverse habitats—from Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir forests to the banks of the Little Spokane River. Along the way, learn how these environments shape the area’s unique plant and animal life.
You’ll also uncover the fascinating story behind the more than 20 natural springs found at Waikiki.
