The OAP Trails Team has been super busy having fun together! Here are some updates.

Memorializing Legacy Trails

The community has identified many critical community pathways connecting neighborhoods. We have termed these "Legacy Trails". We have started our work in engaging with owners to win their acceptance of the trail markers. We have completed the installation of two trails already. We recognize our children, our children's children and beyond will thank us for these efforts today. We are creating a lasting testament to our environmental and community stewardship, our social, physical, and emotional health and wellbeing, and our embrace of civic prosperity. 

Community Cleanup

OAP, Trails Team collaborated with WEBS on April 19th to remove the trash from Oceanside. Fifteen OAP volunteers worked from Tunnel Beach to meet our partners in Netarts. We also hit HWY 131 in the process.  A special "thank you" to WEBS for promoting the event and Netarts Oceanside Fire for hauling away the mounds of trash collected.  Heaps of garbage were collected. We had a blast working together and look forward to the next opportunity.

Short Beach Trial

TIllamook County Public Works (TCPW), have finalized the material quantities list, cost estimate, and plans with the assistance from Trail Keepers of Oregon for the redevelopment of the Short Beach Trail. TCPW is now purchasing the materials needed. We will soon be completing a work schedule together. Our Trails Team will be ready, and we will send an invitation to our community for those wanting to join in.  

Please know everyone is invited to join in--there is always room for you! We love meeting friends, building relationships, and getting things done in the process. Contact me at info@oceansideactionpartnership.org
