DIG DAY — Tillamook - 2/21
2026-02-21 08:00 - 14:30
Come join us in the Tillamook for a fun-filled day of recreation, stewardship, and fun times afterward!

register here

Come join us in the Tillamook for a fun-filled day of recreation, stewardship, and fun times afterward! The scope of work for the fall and winter is still a bit TBD at this point, but similar to years past we’ll be focusing on maintaining shared-use trails (Gales Creek, Storey Burn, Wilson River Trail, Historic Hiking Loop) by removing blowdown, pruning them back, improving drainage, and re-shaping the tread caused by erosion in the rugged and steep (but gorgeous) Coast Range Mountains. Weather conditions are always variable out there, but we will reschedule if conditions warrant.

A typical day starts at 8 a.m. for the completely optional ride/hike/run to get the legs warmed up, then a quick change of clothes at 10 a.m. to get ready for the actual work. We work on the designated trail section from 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m., then usually celebrate with a warm fire, some hot food (options for those with dietary restrictions provided), and a variety of provided beverages from Pelican, Hopworks, and others. Total hiking distance when working is less than 4 miles round-trip.

Tools can be provided as needed. We break into smaller crews, each led by an experienced crew lead who can provide direction and answer questions as needed to ensure you’re having a safe, fun, and productive time.

Many thanks to Cyclepath PDX for co-sponsoring and supporting these events!

As dates get closer, the Tillamook LST (Nathan Frechen) will provide details (when and where to meet up, what to bring, etc). Feel free to reach out to him proactively at tillamooksf@nw-trail.org with any questions you may have in advance.

Warm clothing and extra layers.

Rain jacket (and rain pants if you have them and the weather calls for it): It’s February in the PNW, odds are high it will rain, but that doesn’t stop us from digging!
