What does it take to host a Conservation Celebration?

🏕️ Tent
🪑 Tables & Chairs
🚛 Trailer
✈️ Hangar

All powered by generous in-kind supporters and community partners!

We couldn't host this stellar event without the immense generosity of the Schoepflin family for opening their hangar to us, our amazing friends at for supplying the tables and chairs, for providing the truck and trailer to transport them, and for supplying the party tent that will house this year's buffet.

These gifts save Palouse Land Trust thousands of dollars and help ensure that more of every dollar raised goes directly toward conserving the lands and waters that make the Palouse special.

It truly takes a village. 💚

Come celebrate with us this Friday, June 12. Details in the FB event post or on our website.
