Rose Creek Nature Preserve

Welcome to the
Rose Creek Nature Preserve!


The Rose Creek Nature Preserve is a special place located only 7.5 miles northwest of Pullman, Washington, near Albion. Visitors are welcome year-round, dawn to dusk, 7 days a week.

The Rose Creek Nature 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 22-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.

In December 2008, after three years of managing the Preserve for The Nature Conservancy of Washington, The Nature Conservancy of Washington transferred title of the land to PCEI. As the new owners of the Preserve, PCEI maintains the high standard of care and concern for the historical preserve. In 2011, PCEI received a generous donation of 2.4 acres of land from Fred Hudson (son of George and Bess Hudson who made the original 12-acre donation to the Nature Conservancy). Thank you, Fred for carrying on the wonderful stewardship of your parents!
