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.

2008-06-05 - Palisades Riders Join the Sheriff's Posse for a Meeting.

Some members of Palisades rode horses to participate in a meeting of the Sheriff's Posse, others drove. We met up with Posse members in the old Sandpits in Palisades, just off Greenwood Rd for a Tailgate Potluck and a presentation by Bryant Robinson, the Ranger for County Parks.

Palisades member, Robbi Castleberry gave a brief overview of the work done over the years by Palisades volunteers. and our hope that the Posse would become regular patrollers of Palisades Park.

Bryant Robinson related the efforts that he and county parks have been working on to find a way to make natural area parks more user friendly. The idea is to work with user groups and neighborhood groups like ours to start a program of patrols in all the Conservation Futures areas and natural parks.

Bryant successfully wrote a grant from the Outdoor Recreation Commission to jump start the program. The hope is to educate volunteers on how to approach violators of park rules and what information is needed in order to report violations to the sheriff.

One of the goals is to have a member of the sheriff's department or the city police to volunteer to accompany patrol volunteers. Part of the grant would cover the cost for these law enforcement officials. Those attending were enthusiastic about the program and will be working with Bryant to continue the development of such patrols.

The Sheriff's Posse will meet again in Palisades next month for a potluck and ride. This is scheduled for Monday July 7 at 6pm in the sandpits. Mark it on your calendar and arrive on horseback if you wish to join in a ride through the Park.
