Oregon Hikers

Accessibility Project

One of the biggest challenges of outdoor recreation for people with disabilities is a lack of pertinent information. In an effort to make the Oregon Hikers field guide a helpful resource for all trail users, TKO collaborated with Access Recreation to hold a series of training sessions on gathering trail and facility accessibility information. Volunteers learned about the necessity of accessibility information and how to gather it at the trail, and the collected data will be added to the pages of the ten most popular hikes on Oregon Hikers.

Family Friendly Stewardship Days

One of TKO’s guiding principles is that “trails are for everyone.” Throughout 2022, we sought to expand this to include our youngest trailkeepers with our family friendly stewardship days. These inclusive stewardship events allow families to get active outside, fostering a sense of place and responsibility for our natural spaces that helps to build the next generation of stewards. Most importantly, kids as young as 4 got out on trails and had fun caring for these important urban access points to nature!

We hope to double down and offer even MORE kid-oriented stewardship activities next year.

Can you help us?
