FUGRASS TRAIL WORK PARTY!!
Let’s make trail history together! We’re beyond excited to finally kick off work on the Fuji Mountain & Bunchgrass connector: a dream trail years in the making. This is the final piece that will link two of the most iconic rides and hikes. We need your help to make it happen.
We’ll be working up on Bunchgrass Ridge, building brand new singletrack through some truly special backcountry terrain. This ridge has seen travelers for centuries from Indigenous tribes to early settlers and soon, it’ll be open to trail users in a whole new way!
It's is important to RSVP to these trail work events so we know how many tools and hard hats to bring but even more importantly, SNACKS!

IF YOU'RE NEW TO VOLUNTEERING ON THE WILLAMETTE NATIONAL FOREST: Please create a volunteer profile and sign into the WNF Cascade Volunteers volunteer tracking system. You can do this by heading over to the CV volunteer page and creating your own account here: https://bit.ly/3ZCqon4 - please add Oakridge Trails Alliance as your primary organization affiliation in the West Cascades Trail volunteer group. This will help us track volunteer matching hours for our grant reporting purposes. You should be able to register for this work party from a list of public volunteer opportunities once you’re in the system. If for some reason there is already an account registered under your email, we've likely already got you in the system, and you don't need to do anything else - we will manually enter your hours after each work party.
Thank you for your time and efforts! We can’t wait to see you out there!
