Today’s the day folks! The River Reunion is THIS

Today’s the day folks! The River Reunion is THIS afternoon from 4-8pm at Brick West Brewery - come out and enjoy the great weather, a Salmon-Safe certified Upstream Pale Lager, and learn about all the epic conservation work being done in the Spokane Community.

In addition to the other great organizations highlighted, The Lands Council and the Spokane Riverkeeper will also be attending - come by and say hi to their staff during the event, and learn all about the epic work they do in the community to restore watershed health and wildlife habitat.

Spokane Riverkeeper was founded back in 2009 by a group of committed conservationists in the community, and advocates for the Spokane River’s ecological health, vibrancy and fostering a healthy community connection to the river. They also work to educate and collaborate with the community through citizen events such as river cleanups, citizen science projects, and more!

The Lands Council, founded in the Spokane community in 1983, works to preserve and revitalize Inland NW forests, water and wildlife through advocacy, education, effective action and community engagement. From installing Beaver Dam Analogs with landowner partners to promoting climate justice and forest lands protections, they’re committed to holistic conservation of the Spokane community for future generations.

Come down to the River Reunion to connect and learn about these organizations and the others working hard to conserve the health of our wild and working lands!

Who else is ready for the River Reunion tomorrow?

Who else is ready for the River Reunion tomorrow? Cold Steam Malt & Grain and LINC Malt sure are!

As a farmer-owned malting company based here in the Inland Northwest, Cold Stream’s farmers are committed to soil and water conservation with a focus on stewarding their lands to improve fish habitat, salmon surviving and combating climate change. With this climate resilient stewardship commitment, all of the grain grown through their Cold Stream program is certified in the Salmon-Safe farm program. Salmon-Safe team is excited to have them as such a committed partner, and 100% of the malt brewed in the Upstream Pale Lager is sourced from Cold Stream’s Francin, Steffi, and Buzz Pilner malt blends.

Speaking of committed partners - Spokane Valley-based LINC Malt works directly with Cold Stream Malt as a valued partner in the supply chain, working to develop market relationships with breweries and distilleries region wide, as well as supporting their quality verification and distribution. LINC Malt is a part of the LINC Foods Co-Op (local Inland NW Cooperative) here in town, which works directly with local farmers to build a regional, sustainable, and equitable food system. In addition to their work with Cold Stream, they also source grain from other growers in the Salmon-Safe program throughout the Inland NW from the Tri-Cities and across the Palouse.

So raise a pint of Upstream Pale Lager tomorrow at the River Reunion, and celebrate locally grown and climate resilient grain! Come down and join in - come for the beer, stay to learn about all the other watershed conservation efforts ongoing in our region across wild and working landscapes! A portion of proceeds raised tomorrow at the taproom goes back to the participating nonprofits.🌱🍻

Are you ready for the River Reunion on Thursday? Water Wise Spokane and City of Spokane Stormwater sure are!

Through the city’s Utilities and Public Works department, Spokane is committed to watershed conservation efforts through two main programs - Water Wise Spokane and Spokane Stormwater.

The Water Wise Spokane program offers a range of programs available to the public to learn about how best to conserve water, plant native and drought tolerant gardens, water savings rebates, as well as a whole host of tips for indoor and outdoor water saving and water efficiency check-ins. The Spokane Stormwater team leads similar efforts to promote stormwater mitigation throughout the city, working to implement green infrastructure to reduce stormwater pollution such as bioswales and promote water quality prevention and education to everyone in the community. Both these teams are hard at work to conserve cold and clean water for the future generations of Spokane residents (both human and animal)!🦫🐟💧
