June 24: Spokane Wildlife Gardening Tour

This event has been cancelled.

The second annual Wildlife Gardening tour in Spokane County is scheduled for Saturday, June 24.

The tour, which operates open-house style from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., showcases both public and private landscapes that provide habitat for wildlife in urban and suburban settings, some which use native, low-water-use, and drought-tolerant plants.

It will include the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (WDFW) recently-planted native and drought-tolerant landscaping at the agency’s Spokane Valley regional headquarters. It will also feature “The Green Zone,” a public sustainability demonstration site on the grounds of the Spokane County Conservation District, including a small Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary. Several private residences of various sizes and neighborhoods, enrolled in the Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary program in Spokane County, are also part of the tour.

Tour registration will be available in late May through the Washington State University Extension Master Gardener Clinic at N. 222 Havana St. in Spokane.
