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.

2008-12-20 - Annual Meeting and Christmas Potluck

The Annual Palisades meeting and Christmas Potluck brought neighbors together to enjoy the delicious potluck dishes amid the Valsvig's Christmas decorations wonderland.

Al Hawson, forestery for the Spokane County Conservation District got and held everyone's attention with his CD presentation of the Valleyview fire this summer. It clearly demonstrated the necessity of developing a safe haven around your home and neighborhood.

Al presented copies of the Palisades Park Forestry plan he has developed over this last summer. He plainly stated that because of the present environment of the forests in the park, it is not "if" a fire might occur, but "when" it will.

Palisades plans to present the plan to the Park Board in the near future and begin to plan forestry thinning projects with the SCCD for this coming year.
