CONSERVATION -- Some landowners have a deep attachment to their property and its value to wildlife, water, scenery, tradition and other values.  We can all be thankful to them.

Since 1991, Inland Northwest Land Trust has helped private landowners get tax advantages and peace of mind on the way to protecting 14,694 acres – with more acres added soon!

Here's a word from the local land trust, a local non-profit working for everyone's future an acre at a time.

We work with willing private landowners to protect the region’s natural lands, waters and forests for the benefit of wildlife, our community and future generations. You make our mission possible by your commitment to our region.

Supporting Inland Northwest Land Trust on Giving Tuesday celebrates and encourages a national movement for charitable activities helping non-profit organizations AND provides an additional $2 for every $1 donated to us thanks to an Extra Gift Challenge Grant throughout December.  

Call the Inland Northwest Land Trust office, (509) 328-2939 or mail a check to Inland Northwest Land Trust, 35 W Main Avenue, Suite 210, Spokane, WA 99201.
