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.

MOOT COURT
(This article is from an email sent to Palisades)
By Tim Connor

Court of Appeals victory for the Center for Justice's clients in two, high-profile Spokane land use cases also shows how, under Washington law, developers can win even when bad decisions get reversed.
Kathy Miotke and Julia McHugh finally got their days in court last month as the lead plaintiffs in two of the most hard fought and politically volatile land use cases in Spokane County history. The long awaited verdicts came yesterday, when a state Court of Appeals panel put a succinct but less than momentous end to the proceedings.

At least on paper, Miotke and McHugh won.
By dismissing Spokane County’s appeal of decisions by the Eastern Washington Growth Management Hearings Board (EWGMHB) favoring Miotke and McHugh, the appeals court vindicated the two activists in their long-standing convictions that the Spokane County Commissioners blatantly violated state rules in opening up large tracts on Five Mile Prairie and rural west Spokane for urban development in 2005.
