were invested in coastal trails by TKO in 2022
Known as the “People’s Coast” for its unique public access, the endless scenic vistas and rocky shores of Oregon are connected by numerous hiking trails up and down the coastline. Did you know that some day you’ll be able to hike the entire coastline? Since 2018, TKO has been working with the Oregon Coast Visitors Association (OCVA) and many other partners in a concerted effort to build a trail stewardship movement for the hidden thru-hike gem that is the Oregon Coast Trail (OCT) as well as other connected trails systems.

was improved by TKO volunteers in 2022
The northern section of the Neahkahnie trail was closed in 2020 due to extensive trail damage from a severe windstorm. This is a critical OCT segment, as well as a much loved coastal hike with unparalleled panoramic views.
Thanks to hard working TKO volunteers, Northwest Youth Corps crews, and support from Oregon State Parks, this classic Oregon coast hike was reopened in October of this year!
Urban trails are a cornerstone to nature access for urban and suburban residents, offering countless physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health benefits. TKO has been busy throughout the Portland Metro Area and beyond in 2023 ensuring that these trails can continue to safely connect communities with the outdoors!
Throughout 2023 TKO has been lucky to participate in some outstanding trail projects in the Willamette and Umpqua River Valleys. These projects, critical to maintaining and reopening trails, allowed volunteers to grow their trail construction skills in some of Oregon’s most beautiful natural areas!
Have you caught the “saw bug” yet? Join TKO on a logout and you just might! This draw to saw work, the itch to feel the saw interact with wood as you cut, captivates many a trail crew member after just one day pulling saw. Saw work is a critical aspect of trail stewardship, and it’s this feeling that TKO has worked to inspire in emerging sawyers across Oregon.
