OAP Trails Team Update
Coordinator: Bob Sprague

The Trails Team has been hard at work on several community projects:
- Highway & Beach Cleanup – In our second collaborative cleanup with Netarts WEBS and Solve, 66 volunteers collected over a cubic yard of trash along the highway and shoreline. Afterward, everyone enjoyed Pearl Point oysters grilled to perfection by The Schooner chefs. Big thanks to Chrisi, Marina, and our WEBS partners for making it a fun and impactful day.
- Short Beach Trail Rebuild – This project is now in its final stages. 34 Oceansiders have contributed more than 760 volunteer hours to date. We’re deeply grateful to our partners at Trail Keepers of Oregon—Tom, Carl, Steve, Trevor, Ingrid, and Chuck—for their expertise and teamwork. Special thanks also go to Chris Laity, Brian Olle, and Tillamook Public Works, as well as the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, Netarts WEBS, Oregon Parks and Rec Dept, and all the stewards who paved the way for this trail.
- Tire Trail Rebuild – Planning is underway with Captain Eric Schroeder leading the effort. His careful work is helping us prepare for the challenges ahead—updates coming soon.
Looking forward, we’re being asked to consider additional projects such as invasive plant removal, new trail and pathway connections, and historical restorations. Each will be addressed in its time, and we’ll share more as plans develop.
