TKO has been engaging communities in trail restoration in the Eagle Creek fire-affected area of the Columbia River Gorge since 2018 and now have been working in a number of areas damaged by the historic 2020 Labor Day fires.
Guided by that experience, we are leveraging the power of partnership to rebuild trails after wildfires and restore our connection to Oregon’s special places. At Tread School events, TKO Crew Leaders, as well as partner and agency instructors, deliver a foundation of trail design and maintenance skills, as well as more advanced trainings.
Special thanks to the Bureau of Land Management and Travel Oregon for providing funding support to help TKO and our land manager partners provide this training.
