Public Outreach

Sense of Place

The Sense of Place program is a partnership between the Kalispel Natural Resources Department (KNRD) and the Pend Oreille County Cooperative Extension. The program produces a regular newsletter and an educational series seeking to strengthen landowner’s understanding of, and connection to, the local ecosystem. Sense of Place aims to promote responsible and sustainable stewardship of land and aquatic resources in the lower Pend Oreille Valley.

The program’s goals are consistent with the Kalispel Tribe’s Non-Point Source Assessment Report and Non-Point Source Management Program. The Management Program states: “Public participation and education are critical to Management Program implementation.”
