Willamette Valley Trail Accessibility Survey Team – Online Training

TKO and Willamette Valley Visitors Association are excited to welcome Access Recreation for this volunteer project training!

Access Recreation works to bring better information to trail users on the accessibility of parks and recreation trails in the states of Oregon and Washington and beyond. This information increases opportunities and safety by allowing trail users to make more informed decisions as to which trails may best suit their needs and ability levels without being limited solely to designated ADA accessible trails.

Following this online event, volunteers will also need to attend one of the field trainings at Minto Brown Island Park in Salem for a day on the trails, where we will put our freshly learned accessible trails assessment skills into practice: 

• Saturday, April 27th (10am-1pm), register here.
• Saturday, May 4th (10am-1pm), register here. 
• Saturday, May 11th, (10am-1pm), register here. 

We hope you will join us!

This volunteer training is open to folks who are a part of the Willamette Valley Trail Accessibility Survey Team. Please contact Augusta at WVVA for more info – augusta@willamettevalley.org.
