This open space on Moscow's rapidly growing east side has many unique natural features worthy of permanent conservation. It is bisected by Paradise Creek and contains wetlands and waterfowl habitat that the Fosbergs have fostered and protected. Through years of planting, the Fosbergs have restored native grasses and other plants. The hillside adjoining the creek has fantastic views of Moscow Mountain. This is certainly one of Moscow's most special open spaces.
People enjoy seeing ducks, pheasants, and horses there.
The Palouse Land Trust is proud to have worked with the Fosbergs to help them preserve this land for future generations. He hopes to restore native grass and shrub communities to the hillside along the creek. Further, he hopes to see it used for environmental education. He worked closely with the Palouse Land Trust to design the conservation easement as he wanted it. Maynard sees this as a unique opportunity to control future use and development of the land.
