Join us outside! Winter fun with your favorite (we hope!) Conservancy

Spending winter weather indoors under a blanket with a good book is great! But what’s even better is experiencing nature with your friends at Inland Northwest Land Conservancy. Join us this winter for an event and learn more about this beautiful, four-season haven we call home.
