Join Tony and Andrea as they chat with Hilary Gonzalez from the Spokane Conservation District (SCD) to discuss the important work being done to promote conservation and sustainability in Spokane. Find out how the SCD combines the preservation of natural resources with community involvement and sustainability efforts.
On "Between Coffee and Pizza," Hilary discusses SCD's various projects, including its annual Tree Sale, where over 100,000 tree seedlings are distributed, and the Firewise campaign, which provides free assessments to help residents reduce wildfire risks around their homes.
Hilary also discusses the work that has been done to bring the Scale House Market to the Spokane community, which would be the first year-round farmer's market!
Plus, they get into the origin story of how, during COVID, Hilary transformed the SCD's yearly Farm and Food Expo into the Rocks to Roots Podcast.
This episode is a great reminder of how we all contribute to conservation efforts, emphasizing the importance of community support and involvement in creating a sustainable future.
