What We Do

Taking Action to Save Oregon’s Trails

Over the course of 2019, TKO underwent an update to our 10-year plan, special thanks to our TKO board, volunteers and staff during that time who helped bring together that original document.

In 2023, the TKO Board, staff and their committees recognized that many objectives set in the plan developed in 2019 were being met and surpassed. We also recognized that the COVID-19 global pandemic and social justice challenges that followed changed our approach to a number of activities and our role in steering change in Oregon. From March 2023 through January 2024, Board committees and staff focused on the Impact Goal Area pages within the plan and asked the questions of:

  • What objectives within our current Impact Goal Areas have been met and how can we refresh a larger goal?
  • Are those objectives still relevant after so much change since the global pandemic?
  • Are there more clear ways to share new initiatives to be included in the plan?

Existing committees on Stewardship, Advocacy, Communications and Executive refreshed strategic impacts and objectives pages and our new committees DEI and Fundraising established completely new Impact Goal Areas with corresponding objectives. We are now happy to share a newly adopted update to the plan approved in January 2024:

IN KIND VALUE OF VOLUNTEER TIME

Volunteer Based

Today, almost all trails on our public lands are now maintained by volunteers. From team building events, to trail parties, and organizing behind the scenes, there’s a way everyone can help.

How We Work

We begin with maintenance and stewardship projects that preserve current trails, with the idea that we’re not willing to lose another trail to neglect.

Our Mission

Long Term Goal

We’re also committed to restoring proper funding and renewing public agency interest in trails for all the proven benefits they provide for the public.
