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.

An exploration of leadership, survival, and a changing Antarctic world with Scott Shackleton
Join us for a captivating evening with CAPT Scott Shackleton, USN, relative of legendary Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. Ernest Shackleton is best known for his extraordinary leadership and the remarkable survival of his entire crew during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic (Endurance) Expedition of 1914–1916—an almost 15-month ordeal after their ship, Endurance, became trapped and crushed in Antarctic ice.
Scott Shackleton carries this legacy forward in both story and lived experience. A licensed Third Assistant Engineer in the U.S. Merchant Marine and longtime Navy Reservist, Scott served as the Commanding Officer of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Reserve Unit at the Navy Operational Support Center in San Jose. In 2010, he completed his own South Polar journey while assigned to the Military Sealift Command during Operation Deep Freeze.
