Events
Over the years, KEA has hosted a variety of bi-weekly, seasonal, and annual events. We're currently rebuilding our event calendar, and look forward to bringing more unique and inspiring environmental based events to our community.

August 2025 EVENTS
8/21- Lake City High School Garden Clean Up
Join former KEA Board Member and Environmental Science teacher Jamie Esler for down-to-earth community service.
Volunteers need to help pull weeds at the Lake City HS Xeriscape Garden.
The garden was renovated and redesigned by Lake City students in the Spring of 2025 with the generosity and financial support of the CDA Garden Club and the Plant Pro LLC.
It's an outdoor learning space that teaches students about the ecological benefits of native plant landscaping, pollinator habitats, and water-wise gardens.
Because the garden doesn't use herbicides, help is needed pulling a small amount of weeds before the school season starts up again.
Please bring your own gloves and hand tools if you have them. A small amount will be available for use.
Meet at the garden on the North side of the school grounds off of Hanley Road at 8 am.
KEA is pleased to be partnering with the local branch of the Sierra Club to offer a series of regional eco-history educational tours.
These Sierra Club Outings in the Spokane River watershed, starting in the early 1990s, serve to help local citizens better know and protect their watershed home. Your tour is facilitated by John Osborn, a physician, historian, and volunteer with the Sierra Club's Spokane River Team and Columbia River Team.
First up is the Annual Rivers of History Tour, which will focus on the Spokane River and its source, Lake Coeur d'Alene. This tour takes place on Saturday, September 13th, from 8:30am - 3:30pm.
The next day, Sunday, September 14th, will be the Spokane Falls History Tour. From 8:30am - 1pm, learn about how people of our region have utilized and related to the Spokane Falls throughout time.
Both events have limited spots available, so be sure to register soon. More information and registration can be found through the links below.

Annual Events
Membership and
Community Growth Event
Every Spring we harness the momentum to welcome community members new and old to join us for our annual membership event.
This is an opportunity to learn about the current efforts of KEA, the current environmental needs of our region, and ways to help conserve, protect, and restore our local environment.
It's a great opportunity to share the good company and ideas of like minded community members.
North Idaho Green Summit
The first North Idaho Green Summit was hosted in the spring of 2024. The goal of the summit is to bring together community members together to share information, insights and dialogue regarding regional environmental issues.
It's a great opportunity to connect with other like minded individuals to discuss ideas and opportunities for local advocacy.
Junk 2 Funk
Junk 2 Funk is a lively evening full of creative flair and one of KEA's longest-running, annual fundraising events. It's is a runway "trashion" show where all of the outfits must be made of at least 80% garbage.
Artists young and old flex their imagination and spunk as they design one-of-a-kind "trashy" fashion, and strut the catwalk in environmental style.
