Bird enthusiasts and conservationists alike will find inspiration in the latest episode of the Rocks to Roots podcast, brought to you by the Spokane Conservation District. This episode shines the spotlight on the Spokane Audubon Society, featuring in-depth conversations with Shenandoah Marr, Outreach Coordinator, and Madonna Luers, a dedicated board member. Together, they offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of birding, conservation, and community engagement.
The Spokane Audubon Society, celebrating its 55th anniversary in 2023, has deep roots in the Spokane community. Shenandoah and Madonna discuss the society's rich history, ongoing field trips, and monthly meetings that bring together birders of all experience levels to explore local habitats and learn from experts. 
In addition to community engagement, the Spokane Audubon Society undertakes several conservation initiatives. The Save a Bird program helps rescue and rehabilitate injured birds, while the American Kestrel Nest Box Project aims to support the declining kestrel population. The society also collaborates with local schools, scout groups, and other conservation organizations to educate and inspire the next generation of birders.
