MUSCLE-POWERED PUBLIC LAND USERS BANDING TOGETHER TO WORK FOR RESPONSIBLE LAND STEWARDSHIP AND USE

Welcome to Palisades!

Purpose:
Our primary goal is stewardship of the entire Rimrock/Palisades/Indian Canyon area, including all public lands within the approximate boundaries of Sunset Hwy on the South, Riverside State Park on the North and East, and Airway Heights on the West.

This will include trail planning and maintenance, park advocacy with regard to City Parks issues, involvement with the various agencies assisting in fire management, periodic cleanup activities, and a helpful, watchdog approach to all park users -- i.e. friendly toward non-trashers, non-poachers, non-dealers.

In addition, to assist other user groups in working toward accomplishment of their goals within other areas to enhance muscle-powered use, whether by help with marketing/grant writing/funding or physical help with trail work and building projects.

Finally, to spread the teachings of the "Leave No Trace" Outdoor Ethics program, both within our own area and by reaching out to other user groups to help work toward having clean, sustainable public lands everywhere.

We hope you'll join us.

2009-11-03 - Advisory Committee Volunteers for Parks, Trails Wildlfie Habitat and Farmland Preservation
There’s still time to make your mark and help ensure future generations have great places to play and enjoy nature and the resources for support of family farms. The Recreation and Conservation Office still needs your help. We have been recruiting this fall for volunteers to help review and evaluate grant proposals in these programs:

· Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account
· Land and Water Conservation Fund
· Recreational Trails Program
· Farmland Preservation (in the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program)

You’ll have a chance to work with other citizen volunteers and public agency personnel. The positions are multi-year appointments. In general, committee activities take place here in Olympia where we meet once or twice a year for a day or so.

Visit this web link for more information and access to the online applications:

We’d like to hear from you by December 4, 2009. Direct any questions to Lorinda Anderson at (360) 902-3009 or Lorinda.anderson@rco.wa.gov
