**This event has bee postponed due to lack of volunteers. A new date will be posted soon. Stay tuned for updates. If you would like to volunteer, please reach out to the Disable Access Team. ** Join us a fun-filled day of serving together for a great cause: Clearing dead-fall from Forest Service routes reserved for hunters with disabilities. We'll rendezvous at the INWC parking lot at 0730 hrs then convoy up to "The Meadows" outside Chewelah on the Sand Canyon Rd.  Groups will head out and take care of the routes on both Brewer Mtn and Mitchell Mtn. This is a GROUP activity. ATV's & UTV's are welcome. Chainsaws, loppers, and gloves needed.Mark your calendars. Call Z Zubrick if you have any questions.

Join us for a project that pays it forward! We will be patrolling four routes in total, at two different locales within the eastside of the Colville Natl Forest: Aladdin Mountain and Squirrel Meadows. We will muster at the location linked below, just off of Hwy 20, and East of Hanks Butte Rd, about a 1/4 mile up Rocky Cr Rd. Our route patrol will include traversing each of the three routes on Aladdin, clearing them of winter blowdown, cutting all the fallen trees clear of the route, ensuring it is free and accessible for the entirety of each of those routes (the 330, 350, and 360 Roads). In addition, we will also inspect the two wheelchair platforms on the 360 Rd. If we have enough volunteers, we will send a team over to Squirrel Meadows at the same time to patrol that route and inspect the two platforms there. An advance team will head up to Tiger Meadows and establish a base camp for those who would like to stay overnight either Fri or Sat nights, or both. Whatever does not get completed on Saturday, we can finish on Sunday morning. Bring the kids, the ATV/UTV, and the dog. Let's make this a family friendly event, with some outdoor learning in camp: how to establish emergency shelter, knots for the outdoors, and ways to start a campfire. Have questions? Contact the Disabled Access Team at:access@inwc.org

Meet at the INWC Warehouse at 7am, get the wood duck boxes loaded, and then convoy north to Cusick and meet up with the Kalispel Wildlife Crew at the Camas Center on N LeClerc Rd at 8am. From there, we will disperse to several locations to get the wood duck boxes installed, for completion of an Eagle Scout project. Our Eagle Scout Candidate, and his troop mates will be take point, as expected for an Eagle Scout, and we will provide support. Tools needed:  Impact driver with a T30 torx bit.  The INWC will provide the required hardware. PPE: gloves, sunglasses/safety glasses, long sleeve shirts, hat, sunscreen Other: bottled water

**Due to a conflict with Spokane Hoopfest, this event will be rescheduled for a later date. Please stay tuned!!** Looking for a way to give back? Looking for a community service project? Join us as we patrol two routes in the Colville National Forest (the 810 and the 830 Rds) that have been gated off for Disabled Access Only. We will patrol each of the routes, cutting away deadfall, ensuring that sportsmen, women, and youth with disabilities have access to the entirety of each route. In addition - we will be installing a wheelchair hunting platform on the 830 Rd. Any work that does not get completed on Saturday, we will wrap up on Sunday. We will be camping overnight to make that easier, and usually share a group dinner around the campfire. Team leaders for the project will arrive on Friday to secure a camp area, feel free to join them! Bring the kids, the ATV/UTV, and the dog. Let's make this a family friendly event, with some outdoor learning in camp: how to establish emergency shelter, knots for the outdoors, and ways to start a campfire. Chain saws, loppers are needed, as well as clothing appropriate for expected weather conditions, gloves, bottled water, etc.Contact the Disabled Access Team for more info: access@inwc.org 

Family Picnic!  Call the Office and RSVP, Now! It's that time of year again, and as we do not have a General Meeting in July, we will gather with our friends and families at Clear Lake, on Saturday, July 26th  ......  at the Flag Pole! As always, the INWC will provide hotdogs and hamburgers as well as tableware.  Please bring your favorite side dish to share.  Gee, I wonder who will win the cornhole title this year? If you plan on fishing the day of the picnic, the resort gate will be open at 8am.  If you want to fish earlier, you must use the public launch next door, unless you have a military ID.

Know someone who is mobility challenged with a disability and doesn't know what resources are availble to get out in the woods for hunting or wildlife viewing?  Then they need to be at the INWC on Saturday, April 18th, for the Annual ADA Open House. There will be representatives from several agencies and non-profits sharing info that every outdoorsman with disabilities needs to have. Doors open at 9:30am and then it all gets started at 10am.  Lunch provided! RSVP with our Disabled Access Committee chair, Z Zubrick, at access@inwc.org.

Feel free to join us for our annual volunteer work party to assist the Forest Service with keeping disabled hunter routes accessible. We will meet at "The Meadows" on Sand Canyon Rd, NW of Chewelah. This is a two-mountain project. If we have enough volunteers (yes, that means you!), we will send one team up Brewer Mtn, and the other team up Mitchell Mtn. Historically, there has not been a whole lot of work required on Brewer. If that team wraps their patrol early, they will meet up with the team on Mitchell and assist in completing that route before returning to camp. An advance crew will arrive at The Meadows either late Thursday or early Friday to scout the two routes and determine how much work/clearing is needed. Feel free to join us Friday night and spend the weekend. Clothing appropriate for the work and expected weather is required. Also: water/snacks for the patrol, as well as loppers, chainsaw, gloves, bug repellant, etc. Location: The Meadows https://www.google.com/maps/dir/47.650347,-117.2528421/48.383154,-117.636812/@48.0168306,-117.4982831,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m11!1m5!3m4!2zNDjCsDIyJzU5LjQiTiAxMTfCsDM4JzEyLjUiVw!8m2!3d48.383154!4d-117.636812!4m4!1m1!4e1!1m0!3e0?entry=ttu
