New Spokane-area tour hosts needed

Since Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary program charter members Ron and Gerry Krueger retired from their annual "Open Yard - Bird Fair" event, WDFW is looking for new hosts for a Spokane area tour of backyards next spring.

That’s right – last June’s tours at the Kruegers’ in northeast Spokane County, was the ninth and final promotional event for the program.

No one person may want to take on hosting such an event (it drew up to 2,000 a weekend), so WDFW is looking for several backyard wildlifers to form a tour of homes, similar to the King County event.

If you live in Spokane County, and you’re interested in opening your backyard to help others see what they can do to attract wildlife to their own, contact WDFW urban wildlife biologist Howard Ferguson at 509-456-4420.
