For Photographers

World-famous views are in imminent danger! Your advocacy can help #savethepalouse

Photography of the Palouse from Steptoe and Kamiak Buttes is in imminent danger! A hidden plan to turn the Palouse’s world famous rolling green hills into the area’s largest industrial site have been in the works for years – and now the county has removed all barriers and protections. Without your help, construction could start within the next few months.

2024 might be the last ever photography season at Steptoe Butte

The pristine Palouse prairie between Steptoe and Kamiak is on big industry’s radar—only informed advocacy can stop this unfathomable loss of our precious ecosystem.
