Trails Team Update
December 23, 2025, Bob Sprague, Team Coordinator

Trail Maintenance & Storm Response: The storms in December persisted and so did our Trails Team's efforts. We cleaned up the Tire Trail again and continue to provide regular maintenance to the Short Beach Trail clearing the slippery leaves, branches and twigs.
Tire Trail Rebuild Progress
The Tire Trail Rebuild Project advanced. We completed our grant application to move forward with a concept study, survey work, and bridge inspections — all key steps toward the full rebuild. Volunteers, please stand by for upcoming work parties as the project advances.
Short Beach Trail Improvements
We have met with our partners (TIllamook County and TrailKeepers of Oregon) about adding additional railing to the Short Beach Trail and removing the temporary orange mesh fencing around the plume area. The County has commited materials and support, and we are planning to calendar the work party shortly. Please standby for dates.
Scotch Broom Removal – Spring 2026
Early planning is already underway for our spring 2026 scotch broom eradication work parties. We now have two heavy duty removal tools at our disposal. Dates and volunteer sign-ups will be announced early next year.
