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.

2009-04-28 - Palisades Volunteers Spend a Morning Sprucing up Palisades Park
Early last Satuarday morning, volunteers began to gather at the south gate on Rimrock for the Annual Palisades Neighborhood and Park Cleanup. Chris and Joy Hicks brought their tractor, trailer and chain saws to head up the thinning and trimming work crew. The larger logs were piled on the trailer while the branches, small dog hair pine and brush were stacked along the side to be chipped at a later date.


Roger Payne brought is backhoe to the north end gate and worked with the crew moving rocks north along Rimrock Dr.


Robbi Castleberry and Kevin Orenstein used chains to help the tractor move rocks.
While this was going on, others worked pulling garbage that had been dumped over the rimrock. Since the gates were installed on Rimrock, this type of dumping is occuring north of the gate. Volunteers clammered down the steep rocks to haul up an amazing assortment of garbage from grocery carts to toilets to bucket seats from an automobile.


Lynda Bowman hauled the collected garbage to the south gate for pickup by park crews.

Other volunteers walked the roads and trails in the park and the neighborhood picking up garbage.
