Summary
Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve is getting a major makeover—starting July 15th, crews will dig out decades-old gravel from former sewage ponds to restore the wetland ecosystem. Once home to a 1960s sewer facility, the area lost its natural rhythm and native plants, replaced by weeds. Over a month, heavy machinery will reshape a 10-acre zone, creating a raw “moonscape” before nature takes over. Funded by a $250K grant and a partnership between the Inland Northwest Land Conservancy and U.S. Fish & Wildlife, this project aims to revive the Little Spokane River corridor—a vital, accessible green space near campus and neighborhoods. It’s not just restoration—it’s healing a community’s natural heartbeat.
