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.

2009-05-13 - Volunteers Thin Palisades Pine Forest

Nine volunteers arrived on Rimrock last Tuesday evening under threatening skies to feed a huge chipper the trees they thinned and the branches they removed.

Thanks to is due Garth Davis and the Spokane County Conservation District who donated this oversized chipper.


Our local forester, Chris Hicks and Vic Castleberry hauled the chipper to the Rim at 4:30 and started feeding it with some pretty good sized trees. It worked fine for 2-3 trees and then gave up the ghost. Ben, from SCCD arrived shortly followed by Robbi Castleberry with extra gas and soon the chipper was roaring again.

It kept Chris and Justin Holbrook busy with chain saws just to keep up the the crew of Linda and Mike Reznicek, Vic and Robbi, Kevin Orenstein and Craig Volosing as they hauled the trees and branches to the chipper.

By 8pm the volunteer crew had finished just as the sun's alpenglow lit up the view of downtown Spokane.

This volunteer effort is a contribution to City Parks of $1075.
