KEEN plans and pulls off several events throughout the year. Some are pure fundraising (Urban Stream Walk in early summer and WindFall Cider Fest in the fall) and some are community environmental education (Get Intimate with the Shrub-Steppe, Yakima River Canyon Bird Fest, and KEEN's Winter Fair). We seek volunteers to help us plan and operate all the events and we always welcome more helpers!
