Project Overview:

We will be using crosscut saws to perform seasonal blowdown maintenance. If you are not certified for crosscut use, expect to use hand saws and loppers to help prepare logs for sawing (swamping). If you are a certified sawyer, and need access to tickets, please email josh.durham@trailkeepersoforegon.org

Bring your personal saw kit (wedges, axe, crosscut saw) if you have one. We will have a tailgate training review session (about 1/2 hr) before hiking the trail.

Hiking information:

Entering at the beginning of the 400 trail at the Wahclella parking area, we will work up to the 777 road junction.

The crew leader for this event will verify that you have done both of these requirements at the trailhead before the party begins. Your pre-event emails will contain further details and links for both of these requirements.

You should expect to participate in this work party for its entirety. For safety reasons, please do not arrive late or expect to be able to leave early.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: TKO recognizes that the trails we work on travel through the traditional lands of many Indigenous tribes. In every corner of what we now call Oregon, these people were forced to cede their land, their home, to the US government at various times from 1853 – 1871. We are privileged to be here today & express gratitude to the descendants of these tribes for being the original stewards of this land.

EQUITY & INCLUSION: TKO seeks to make Oregon’s trails a place where people can go to connect with nature & one another. Not everyone feels safe & welcome in the outdoors due to racism, bias & hate. We commit to being part of the solution to change that. Conduct, speech, or expressions that target individuals or groups will not be tolerated by TKO, regardless of whether they are based on age, citizenship, disability, ethnicity, gender identity/expression, geographic origin, language, marital status, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.

PERSONAL SAFETY: Your physical & emotional safety is our number one priority. If a person’s actions or comments make you feel uncomfortable/unsafe – interrupt directly, tell a crew leader &/or complete the post-event survey.
