[Friends of the Bluff](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/), a sustainable, community-supported organization that - through education, outreach, and direct conservation efforts - ensures that the Bluff will always be a protected, healthy, and natural ecosystem, accessible to all who wish to respectfully enjoy it.  ![bluff](https://39525199.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/39525199/hubfs/bluff.webp?width=1200&length=1200&name=bluff.webp)    Volunteer events are the core of Friends of the Bluff's efforts to preserve and protect the bluff. Join [HERE](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/volunteer). [![bluff3](https://39525199.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/39525199/hubfs/bluff3.jpeg?width=1200&length=1200&name=bluff3.jpeg)](https://www.greenplaynw.org/vinegar-flats-farm-school) All-outdoors programs, like Vinegar Flats Farm School, supports the developing social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs of children.  ### Bringing the mission to life . . . Their [mission statement reads](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/board-members), “As Friends of the Bluff, we are stewards of Spokane’s High Drive Bluff Park. Through volunteer efforts, community partnerships, and education, we conserve the area in a natural, sustainable state for multiple users who respect the resource, each other, and wildlife.” [While most of us reap the benefits](https://outthereoutdoors.com/5589/), Friends of the Bluff are those who literally get their hands dirty. Their affiliated grassroots group, [The Doo Crew](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/litter-removel) removes an estimated 3/4 TON of dog waste every year (side note, they are always looking for volunteers). Friends of the Bluff also manages grazing [goats](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/goatgrazing) as one of the most sustainable ways to \[lessen the fire risk\] while regenerating healthy soil. They recruit experts to lead free educational [bluff walks that range from geology and wildlife to meditation and art](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/bluffwalks) to engage more people with and in nature.  ### The difference it makes . . . It's not only about enjoying the outdoors and it doesn't stop at [education](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/copy-of-plants-wildlife) and conservation. It's also about [mental, physical, and emotional health](https://www.wanpa.org/), overall [growth](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/annualplan), and it's about business.  Exercising true partnership, Friends of the Bluff encourages the community to patronize their sponsors and partners including [Wheel Sport](https://www.wheelsportbikes.com/), [Rocket Market](https://rocketmarket.com/), [Karma Cultivate](https://karmacultivate.com/), and [Craven's Coffee](https://cravenscoffee.com/).  ["We strongly believe that businesses that invest in their communities deserve the mutual support - and patronage - of the local community. . . Please show them some love."](https://www.friendsofthebluff.org/) Friends of the Bluff is a strong example of service leadership that is doing the work to put people first.     Rooted Sonshine loves to highlight individuals, businesses, and  organizations that are investing in people.
