I’ll be guest-hiking with the Trailkeepers of Oregon at Tamanawas Falls during a Trail Ambassador Training hike. This is a hike to help get the Trail Ambassadors acquainted with their trails, and they were kind enough to ask me to join in and talk a bit about the trees and forest along the way.

If you’re interesting in volunteering with Trailkeepers of Oregon, or just have some spare time to go on a hike, join in on our group. You can sign up on here.

Trail Ambassadors communicate key safety and trail condition information integral to both keeping folks safe and promoting stewardship of our most heavily visited recreation sites. Staying on official trails, packing out waste, being responsible with pets, and knowing about other nearby options if the destination is overcrowded, are important aspects of the program.
