Trails Team Update
November 17, 2025, Bob Sprague, Team Coordinator

Trail Maintenance & Storm Response
The November storms did a number on several of our neighborhood connecting pathways, but the OAP Trails Team made quick work of the cleanup. These trails are now open again — and looking better than before. The effort also gave us the opportunity to remove a large amount of invasive scotch broom along the way. Thank you to all the volunteers who jumped in to help.
Tire Trail Rebuild Progress
The Tire Trail Rebuild Project continues to move forward with a concept study, survey work, and bridge inspections — all key steps toward the full rebuild. OAP is considering applying for a TLT Facilities Grant in 2025 to support these costs. Volunteers, please stand by for upcoming work parties as the project advances.
Short Beach Trail Improvements
We are currently in discussions with Tillamook County about adding additional railing to the Short Beach Trail and removing the temporary orange mesh fencing around the plume area. More updates to come as plans progress.
Scotch Broom Removal – Spring 2026
Early planning is already underway for our spring 2026 scotch broom eradication work parties. Dates and volunteer sign-ups will be announced early next year.
