🌲💧 Your membership makes a difference.

Kootenai Environmental Alliance has been Idaho's oldest member-supported conservation nonprofit since 1974 — and for over 50 years, it's been people like you who make this work possible.

KEA works to conserve, protect, and restore the environment for the health and well-being of future generations, with a specific focus on the Idaho Panhandle and Coeur d'Alene Basin.

From advocating for clean water and healthy forests to educating our community and monitoring climate impacts close to home — none of it happens without member support.

Grassroots means US.
Grassroots means YOU.

Memberships are an annual contribution that makes a generational impact.

Spend the WHOLE DAY with KEA!

This Saturday, October 10th, is packed with great opportunities to give back to the land and water that make life in CDA top-tier!

Start the day helping us pick up trash! KEA is partnering with Idaho Rivers United, Tubbs Hill Foundation, the City of CDA, and Vantage Point Brewing for a riverbank and lakeshore cleanup.

There are multiple locations and time intervals for cleanup, so choose what works best for you:

8:15-8:30 AM: Meet at East Tubbs Hill Trailhead with Cleanup Supplies, Snacks, and Beverages - this cleanup will go from 8:30 am - Noon.
9 AM: City Park - this will focus on City Beach and surrounding areas - this cleanup will go from 9 am - Noon.
No supplies needed; you're welcome to bring your own, but we'll have everything you need.

Following the cleanup, we're inviting everyone to join us for a social hour at Vantage Point Brewing from 1-3 PM. Vantage Point Brewing is giving discounts on beverages for volunteers, and we'll have a giveaway raffle for anyone who participated in the cleanup.
