What a year it’s been!  We wrapped up the West Salem Bike Playground project, giving hundreds of kids the chance to build their skills and enjoy the outdoors. We’re also making strides with the Community Trail Farm, which will open its doors in 2025. Thanks to the generous support for our general fund, we’ve tackled trail building, maintenance, and ski trail grooming like champs! We’ve rallied behind our NICA Mountain Bike Team and hosted awesome events like the Omnium, Trails Fest, and Goose Island Grind. We offered free volunteer training through Trail Master Classes and Chainsaw Safety courses, employed six seasonal staff this summer, and continued advocating for more trails and outdoor spaces. It’s been a bustling year, and we’re so grateful for our amazing donors and Trail Friends—your support helps us enhance, grow, and connect our community!

As we dive into our end-of-year giving campaign, we’ll continue to champion the tagline “Trails for All!” This reflects our commitment to making outdoor access available to everyone in our community. We believe that everyone deserves to reap the benefits of nature and enjoy the great outdoors, no matter their financial situation, ability, culture, or other barriers.

As we close out this year, we ask you to consider making a year-end gift to help ORA Trails continue the good work.

Thank you Trail Friends!
