WE WORK TO PROTECT & RESTORE THE SPOKANE RIVER WITH COMMUNITY CONNECTION
Macroinvertebrates are powerful indicators of water quality and habitat. These aquatic bugs live in our local streams and rivers year round, making them susceptible to seasonal or intermittent pollution that may missed by water quality testing. Read on to find out what we found!
For years, Spokane Riverkeeper and our partners have removed tens of thousands of pounds of garbage from the Spokane River. We’ve worked alongside volunteers, outfitters, cities, and land managers to protect this treasured waterway—but the trash keeps coming back. We sent Ecology a letter and data asking for help.
Join the Spokane Riverkeeper in connecting with the community and building stewardship along the river!
River cleanups helps keep the river healthy by removing trash that can harm wildlife, pollute the water, and damage habitats. Clean rivers support better water quality, safer recreation, and a healthier ecosystem for both people and animals.
Meeting Location: We will be meeting at the trailhead on N Iron Ct. at 10:00 AM

Join Spokane Riverkeeper for a community paddleboard cleanup on the Spokane River! This event invites paddlers of all experience levels to help protect the health of our waterway while enjoying time on the river.
Participants will float along the Spokane River, picking up litter from the water and shoreline. Spokane Riverkeeper will provide trash bags, gloves, and litter pickers.
This is a great opportunity to enjoy a morning paddle with purpose, clean up our community, and meet others who care about river stewardship.
As their on-water intern, I quickly realized this role was about much more than rafting. It was about learning technical river skills, stepping into leadership, and building lasting community connections.
