Trailkeepers of Oregon | The Hiker Podcast

Adventure is Out There Podcast

This week I am so excited to talk with Ginny and Josh of Trail Keepers of Oregon. Almost all of today’s hiking trails were built more than 80 years ago.Almost all of them are currently maintained by volunteers. Explosive trail use and a lack of funding for trail maintenance is a real threat to our favorite trails. In 2007, a group of concerned hikers founded Trailkeepers of Oregon. Our work takes the form of trail maintenance projects and advocacy work to restore proper funding to a resource so beneficial and beloved by Oregonians. Backed by the generosity of hundreds of donors and volunteers, Trailkeepers of Oregon is committed to making sure everyone has access to Oregon’s most special places for years to come.
