Trailkeepers of Oregon has officially accepted the core management duties of the Trailhead Ambassador program! While TKO will be taking on the behind-the-scenes work, rest assured – visitors, volunteers and partners will continue to enjoy the rewards of this powerful program. All of the partners – including the Friends of the Columbia Gorge – are excited to continue to build on the success of the previous seasons and make this the best year yet for you, our volunteers, and the trails that we love on Mt. Hood and in the Columbia River Gorge.
Trail Ambassadors places volunteers at popular trailheads in the Columbia Gorge and around Mt. Hood. Volunteers come from around the region to give back to the trails they love by engaging with visitors around safety, ethical use of public lands, and Leave No Trace practices, as well as sharing opportunities for visitors to engage with local communities.
Trail Ambassadors has been a collaborative effort from the start. This program is built on the foundational idea that nonprofit partners, agencies, and the public are more powerful together than apart. This program is the result of many years of hard work from the partners listed above.
