Outings & Events

What’s going on!

There are many ways to experience Shrub-Steppe.

Cowiche Canyon Conservancy creates a variety of opportunities for all ages to connect with the shrub-steppe. We work with  partners including other non-profit organizations, schools, and local, state, and federal agencies to engage the community with our work and build support for local conservation. 

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Community events – live and virtual – aim to help our community engage with our shrub-steppe in educational and inspiring ways. Stay tuned here for updates about future events.

WINTER TALK SERIES

Winter Talks are hosted in collaboration with Yakima Valley College. Talks explore biology relevant to protecting, restoring, and living in our shrub-steppe ecosystem.  We are pleased to announce our 2023 series. Talks will be hosted via zoom. Registration details are coming soon.  Recordings of past talks can be found here.

Our guided Community Walks, on a variety of natural themes, are a great way for families to engage with the shrub-steppe, learn about plants and other wildlife, and become more comfortable with CCC trails.
