Project Overview:
McCord Creek Trail has recently reopened, but the railings at the cliff section are still in poor shape. We will work with Oregon Parks staff to repair the railings.
Hiking information:
We will start from Yeon Trailhead and carry material to Upper McCord creek. We may do more than one round trip.
What to expect:
Prior to this event, you will be asked to watch a short orientation about our COVID-19 safety procedures. You must also sign the TKO e-waiver and complete a personal health screening before attending this event. Details and links will be provided after you register.
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.
You should expect to work on a trail that switchbacks up a steep slope. There is likely to be some rockfall and blowdown on the trail. You will work with experienced crew leaders. No experience is necessary.
What to bring:
What to wear:
Directions: John Yeon Trailhead is located about 4 miles east of I-84 Exit 35 on NE Frontage Rd. Directions will be sent to attendees in an Eventbrite email 48 hours prior to the event.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: TKO recognizes that the trails we work on travel through the traditional lands of many Indigenous tribes. From 1853 – 1871 in every corner of what we now call Oregon, these people were forced to cede their land, their home, to the US government . We are privileged to be here today & express gratitude to the descendants of these tribes for being the original stewards of the land.
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 a post-event survey.
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.
