Walk & Talk River Cleanup
Advertisement
Join Spokane Riverkeeper and Washington State Leave No Trace Advocate Adam Tobey for an evening Walk & Talk along the Spokane River. Together, we'll cleanup the river and explore how Leave No Trace principles can help us care for the places we love, both in the outdoors and in our everyday communities.
As we walk, Adam will share practical ways to reduce our impact, be thoughtful stewards of public spaces, and help ensure that future generations can enjoy healthy, thriving outdoor environments.
