About the program:

Sand Creek Connections was established to create a space for community connection, communication, and collaboration to identify a future vision for the Sand Creek Corridor. Our team, including the Kalispel Tribe, Kinnikinnick Native Plant Society, and other area partners, will be conducting initial inventories and analysis of environmental conditions in the corridor, including identifying native plants, invasive species, and water quality. Recommendations on how to achieve a shared vision and goals for the Sand Creek Corridor will be made to the cities of Ponderay and Sandpoint, and local stakeholders will be engaged to identify opportunities and constraints. We will also educate the larger public about our shared water environments, including plants and wildlife habitats, and our public stewardship of these assets.
