Thank you to those that came out for the 1st Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) non-motorized trail work party of the season this past Saturday (http://www.nw-trail.org/node/2060).  This work party was led by the Northwest Trail Alliance due to budget and staff reductions for ODF's recreation staff for the Tillamook State Forest.  Thank you to Matt Savage, Reese Bowes, Brian List, Fred MacGregor, Ray Bayley, and Wayne Naillon for coming out to volunteer your time to perform maintenance work on the Wilson River Trail for the benefit of all users of this trail.  We provided a total of 27 hours of volunteer work for the day, not including driving time.

The saga of the Wilson River Trail extension (Segment C-1) from Elk Creek
Campground east to Idiot Creek Road continues.  There was vandalism along the

PUMP Opposes House Bill 3072

Submitted Thu, 04/30/2009 - 7:23am by Ryan_K

I wanted to provide information to mountain bikers in regards to Oregon House Bill 3072 (http://egov.oregon.gov/ODF/BOARD/docs/April_20_2009/2_Att_1.pdf) and PUMP's opposition to it.  This bill is crafted to re-define the meaning of Greatest Permanent Value of our State of Oregon forest lands.  The idea is to turn the Tillamook and Clatsop State Forests into industrial timber farms and to remove any other purpose from these lands.
