Kootenai Environmental Alliance is the oldest nonprofit conservation group in Idaho and one of the oldest in the Northwest. Founded in 1972, KEA was organized in response to the extensive environmental damage in the Idaho Panhandle at the time, caused by timber and mining interests, land developers, and policies of land managers of the federal government. The Kootenai Environmental Alliance recognizes the need to look beyond trees and water to monitor environmental impact. Kootenai Environmental Alliance has teamed up with Eat Smart Idaho and Kootenai County Farmers’ Markets to increase access to fresh, locally grown produce for those in need. The goal is to increase access to local fresh fruits and vegetables to low-income families by starting the Double Up Food Bucks Program. As environmental stewards, KEA promotes a healthy food circle by sponsoring the program of Community Roots, a program which seeks to develop a healthy local food system in the region and reconnecting people with the land that feeds them.
