Pullman Civic Trust Information

The Pullman Civic Trust is a non-profit volunteer organization of more than 700 community-minded citizens of the Palouse. Our goals are varied yet share a common theme:-- Create a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable community through projects that restore and enhance the natural and built environment. -- Generate community spirit through wise, long-term planning that fosters cooperation between citizens and government leaders. -- Provide an opportunity for like-minded citizens to act locally through an established well-respected organization. Since its inception in 1983, the Trust has completed many projects that now benefit Pullman and the Palouse.  We have:-- Developed the coalition and sustained the effort that created the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail between Pullman and Moscow. -- Created the Civic Trust River Park, a 2 1/2-acre city park and checkdam-waterfall along the S. Fork of the Palouse between Reaney Park and Main Street overpass. -- Sponsored yearly workshops on community vision, design and the environment. -- Introduced the Main Street program into Pullman to foster beautification and revitalization projects in the downtown area. -- Planted and tended the scores of trees now flourishing from Derby Street along the Professional Mall Blvd. to the meadow below Summit Therapy on Bishop Blvd. -- Planted trees on the south slope by the Terre View Street bridge along the Palouse highway. -- Provided frequent creative and financial support to numerous smaller community enhancement projects. If you dream about more trees in our city, areas for pedestrians to enjoy, a welcoming look to Main and Grand Streets, cleaner rivers, or access to the trails already in place, we invite you to join us.  Discover how your voice can make a difference in improving the quality of life in Pullman!
