Join us as we conduct a 1st for the INWC: Not only have we built an ADA duck blind for the 1st time, now we are installing it on private land that is part of WDFW's Hunt by Reservation program.  We will muster at the INWC Warehouse at 8am, and head north to the location near Clayton.  This project will need many hands as the blind will be transported in sections and many are too awkward for just two people to handle. You were looking for something to do that Saturday anyways ... so come be part of something bigger, and pay it forward for those with mobility challenges. Contact the Disabled Access Team with any questions: access@inwc.org Install location:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/PkzPr33Gfr6CFWRz9

We will muster at the INWC Warehouse at 7:30am, get the platform loaded on the flatbed, and head out by 8am.  Dress appropriate for the expected weather, bring gloves and water.  Let's do this!!!

The event will be held at the Clear Lake Resort on May 10th, and the cost of registration includes a rod & reel for your child, as well as an event t-shirt, bottled water, and up to 3 fish which will be cleaned for you to take home, or you can opt to donate it to the foodbank.

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.

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?
