OAP Trails Team Update May 30, 2025

for Bob Sprague, Team Coordinator

The OAP Trails Team has been very active in May. 

Short Beach Trail Redevelopment

We have completed our coordination with TrailKeepers of Oregon (TKO) and the county on the Short Beach Trail Project. June 4 will be our first day of demolition and reconstruction of the historical trail. The project is expected to run through the month of June at least, with 6 work party events on the schedule. 

Legacy Trail Markers Installed

Our team has successfully installed the "Legacy Trails" signage on the historic community connecting trails of Avalon, Terrasea, Trillium, Camelot, and Grand neighborhoods. These markers serve to memorialize these connections for us and future generations. 

Scotch Broom Removal Project

Several Oceansiders, including the OVERT team, have contacted OAP regarding removing scotch broom from our neighborhoods. We have completed the beta efforts to establish a procedure, a process, and waste management.  So far we have removed and disposed of 5 truckloads of plants (nearly a ton). On June 10 we will have our first official work party from 9:00 am to noon. 

Tire Trail Redevelopment

We are thrilled to report Eric Schroeder has agreed to Captain the Tire Trail Redevelopment Project. Please watch for special updates and requests as this progresses. 

Beach Clean up Day July 5th

OAP has partnered with Netarts WEBS and Solve for our next Beach Cleanup Party, July 5th from 9:00 am to noon. The Oceanside team will meet at the upper parking lot and work our way towards Netarts. 

If any of this looks fun to you, please know you are always welcome to join in. We have a terrific time working together! Please let me know your questions and how we can better help.
