Every petal plays a part
At Kaniksu Land Trust, partnership is the heartbeat of everything we do. The work of caring for the lands and people of this region doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s built through collaboration with neighbors, tribes, schools, local businesses, landowners, and fellow nonprofits who share our vision for a thriving, resilient community. These partnerships amplify our impact, turning ideas into action and challenges into shared victories. Together, we protect vital landscapes, create opportunities for connection, and ensure that the spirit of this place endures. Every success story we tell is really a story of “we”—and that’s what makes it powerful.

Community Partners
Kaniksu Land Trust collaborates closely with a diverse array of partners, including local communities, government agencies, and other non-profit organizations, to advance our conservation, education and community objectives. Through these partnerships, we leverage a broad spectrum of expertise, resources, and support to effectively care for the lands and people of Boundary and Bonner Counties in Idaho, and Sanders County in northwest Montana. This cooperative approach enables us to undertake larger, more impactful projects and we also know it’s just more fun to do this work together.
