Projects
Healthy, Thriving & Restorative
Purpose
Little Spokane Watershed
projects are volunteer groups of individuals
who care about the health and well-being of the Little Spokane
Watershed. Each project's purpose is to nurture the stewardship of the
Little Spokane
Watershed in specific ways. Each group is intended to be a place for
sharing success stories
and visions and to be a resource center for the watershed.
Each project's goals are to foster attitudes, of the people living in and
involved with the Little Spokane Watershed, and work toward the stewardship
of the Little Spokane Watershed. This is no small project and not an unworthy
goal.
Leadership
Each Little Spokane Watershed project works on various activities nurturing
the health of the watershed and allowing the watershed to become more restorative.
Each specific project has its own active participants who are responsible
for the project. Project ideas and project volunteers are most welcome.
