2110 N. Houston Road, Spokane WA 99224

The Rimrock area is a very unique place. It’s open enough to host browsing wildlife like deer, moose, and elk. There are enough ponds and snags to provide good breeding habitat for waterfowl and raptors. And the rocky outcroppings make ideal habitat for big cats like mountain lions and bobcat.

Because the area was previously homesteaded and used for cattle grazing, there is a substantial amount of barbed wire fencing in the area. This Field Friday, we will focus on removing this barbed wire to ensure the habitat is safe and healthy for wildlife use. 

Space is limited! To reserve your spot, please RSVP to Rose at rrichardson@inlandnwland.org.
