| The Rose Creek Nature Preserve (RCNP) is a special place located only
7.5 miles northwest of Pullman, Washington, near Albion (Directions).
Rose Creek Preserve is the best example of the distinct quaking
aspen-black hawthorn-cow parsnip community type of its kind remaining
in the endangered Palouse meadow steppe ecosystem. The twelve-acre
preserve is bisected by Rose Creek with a plant community of native
bunchgrass species in the upland, and a lush community of species such
as Fendler’s waterleaf, and purple trillium in the wet meadow. After
three years of managing the Preserve for the Nature Conservancy of
Washington (TNC), in December 2008, TNC transferred title of the
land to PCEI. As the new owners of the Preserve, PCEI will maintain the
high standard of care and concern for the historical preserve. |
