Spring 2025 Walking Adventures (Ages 13+) – Come learn about the natural wonders and history that are right in your backyard! This series of walks will take us around Tubbs Hill and the surrounding area as we explore the flora, fauna, geology, and history of the local area. Each walk will be led by a local community member eager to share their passion and knowledge. We will meet at the lower entrance of the library (outside the Community Room) by the moose statue unless otherwise specified and walk towards our destination together; each walk will be about two hours. It is recommended that you park in the lower parking lot. Please dress for the weather, wear appropriate shoes for a moderate hike, bring water, and please no dogs.     

Trees, Forest Health, and Fire Mitigation- Wednesday, May 7 (9 am)  

Learn about the health and history of Tubbs Hill with Mark Weadick, a retired forester and member of the Tubbs Hill Foundation. Nick Goodwin, Coeur d’Alene’s Urban Forester, will be joining us to talk about the City’s grant for fuel reduction on the hill and plans for future tree planting. We will be walking the Tubbs Hill main loop trail, learning about the various species of trees, how insect and disease activity on the hill affects forest health, and what measures will be taken in the future to help keep our forest healthy. We will meet at the east trailhead on the south- east side of Tubbs Hill (11th Street).
