A Sullivan Thank You

It might seem simple to spread some gravel with volunteers. But it actually takes expertise and commitment. Lindsay Chutas with the Conservation District helped design what to do and served as our on-site technical lead. SPVV came up with the awesome idea of shooting the gravel over the bridge and confirmed Lindsay’s site plan. The City of Spokane Valley walked us through permit needs, not the least of which was how to safely shut down a lane of traffic on a busy bridge for half an hour. And Spokane Riverkeeper staff and interns helped us get the work done as part of the Get Up, Get Out program we partner on. Put it all together with volunteers, and what do you get? A win for the river and community.
