SPEAK: Oregon State Forest Values and Beliefs Survey DUE APRIL 30, 2010

Submitted Tue, 04/20/2010 - 11:28am by Ryan_K

The Northwest Trail Alliance has participated in discussions that have helped to shape the governing rules by which State of Oregon forest lands are managed.  These rules are commonly known as the "Greatest Permanent Value."  See previous posts (http://www.nw-trail.org/node/1093) for more background information.  As we are aware, the lands owned by the State of Oregon are owned by us - the citizens of Oregon.  We permit the State to manage these lands for the common good to all.  The State of Oregon is currently seeking your input for how best to manage these lands through the completion of a short survey (accessible directly from www.forestvalues.org/odfsurvey or from the top link on the State of Oregon: Oregon Department of Forestry website http://egov.oregon.gov/ODF/).

Wilson River Trail - Where to start??

Submitted Sat, 01/23/2010 - 1:30am by Gun_arrr

I'm hoping to get out and ride some of the Wilson River trail for the first time. Any suggestions for the most interesting portion to hit up? I'm assuming it's typically done as an out and back. Will probably only have time for 10-15 miles, so something will have to be missed :-( My idea of interesting would be either good scenery, or gnar (technical fun factor).

Thanks folks! 

Brown's Camp trails closed?

Submitted Tue, 01/12/2010 - 3:33pm by i_r_beej

A friend told me that the Brown's camp area was now closed to MTBs. Is this true? What about the motorcyclists? I always saw more of them there than MTB riders.

 

I've "googled" around but have been unable to find any definitive information on a possible closure.

 Thanks for any news.
