Little SpokaneWatershed
Council
Healthy, Thriving & Restorative
Purpose
The Little Spokane Watershed Council is a volunteer group of individuals
who care about the health and well-being of the Little Spokane Watershed.
The Council's purpose is to nurture the stewardship of the Little Spokane
Watershed. The Council is intended to be a place for sharing success stories
and visions and to be a resource center for the watershed.
The Council's goal is to foster attitudes, of the people living in and
involved with the Little Spokane Watershed, that work toward the stewardship
of the Little Spokane Watershed. This is no small project and not an unworthy
goal.
Leadership
The Little Spokane Watershed Council works on various projects 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. 
Book: CRITTERS Of The Little Spokane Watershed
CRITTERS Of The Little Spokane Watershed is a 320 page guide and
photographic tour of the watershed's native plants, fungi, wildlife, habitats
and their inter-relationships. There are over 50 illustrations and over
275 black and white photographs.
CRITTERS recognizes that a viable quality of life for people and nature
living in and near the Little Spokane watershed, depends on a watershed
that is healthy, thriving and restorative.
CRITTERS identifies over 1,700 species that make their living in the
Little Spokane Watershed. Not counting the smaller forms of life, virus,
bacteria and protists - there are almost 500 planets, over 400 fungi and
lichens, and over 700 animals in the watershed's thirteen habitats.
CRITTERS is available at local bookstores or can be ordered from the
Little Spokane Watershed Council.
