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.

2008-11-07 - Work Continues on the Forestry Plan for Palisades
Your Palisades volunteers are continuing to work with the Spokane County Conservation District in conjunction with the City Forester to develop a Forestry Management Plan for Palisades.
Al Hawson, District Forester with Spokane County Conservation District (SCCD) has worked closely with Palisades as he inventories the trees, shrubs, grasses, trails, wetlands and noxious weed of Palisades Park. His goal is to write a plan describing the present conditions in the park, suggestions to improve the overgrown and crowded pine forests, control noxious weeds,to set goals that will result in a well managed natural area.
The plan would divide the park into "priority areas" which would be tackled first and then move on to areas that are not considered critical.
Al hopes to have the plan in place by the end of this year. With the adoption of the plan by local agencies, it will be the task for our Neighborhood to work cooperatively with the SCCD and City Parks to implement the plan.
