Volunteer for Trails! Camp Wilkerson, October 11
ORGANIZATION: Trailkeepers of Oregon
Please visit the new page to apply.
Trailkeepers of Oregon will be heading to Camp Wilkerson on October 11 to continue our long-term improvement of their hiking trails. We’ll be working on drain/water issues before the rainy season starts, as well as installing a culvert and working on drainage on a steep trail.
Camp Wilkerson is a campground in Columbia County between Vernonia and Scappose with a network of hiker and horse trails. Join us to help our hiking friends in Columbia County. There is free camping available for this work party including rain shelters in case there is rainy weather.
No prior trail work experience is needed. TKO provides tools, safety equipment and training. You will need to provide your own food and camping gear (if you want to camp). This is car camping with only a short walk to the work site.
Please sign up here .

Mission Statement
Inspiring action for the protection and enhancement of the Oregon hiking experience through advocacy, stewardship, education and outreach.
Description
Our organization was born out of the Portland Hikers Forum, a community forum for hiking enthusiasts that was established in 2006, and has now grown to become the Oregon Hikers Forum, TKO’s free, online community for hikers. As the original forum grew, a user-built field guide was created and has now grown to become the Oregon Hikers Field Guide, a free online resource hosted by TKO and maintained by dozens of volunteer authors.
Early on, the many volunteers behind the original hiking forum and field guide saw that many of our trails are at risk and in need of active champions and engaged stewards to advocate for them: TKO was formed by the forum community in the fall of 2007 to address these concerns. The heart of TKO’s mission is our effort to build, restore and maintain hiking trails across the state, promote hikers' interests, and foster ownership and conservation of our public lands.
