Annual Events
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.
Earth Day Celebration
Our operating policy is to observe Earth Day every day, but we certainly appreciate the opportunity to make it special within our community once a year.
We love joining efforts with the CDA Library to provide a diverse, educational, and inspiring Earth Day Celebration that recognizes the connection of all living things and showcases ongoing environmental possibilities and needs within our region and globe.
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.
Green Screen Series
Join us November - April for the Green Screen Series & Eco Film Forum, a thought-provoking and audience-engaging event series hosted by Kootenai Environmental Alliance and the CDA Library.
Each month, we're sharing an environmentally focused film to provide insight and spark a conversation about how to approach these topics locally.
Films and discussions will take place in the Coeur d'Alene Library Community Room, from 2 - 4pm.
