Fugrass Trail Work Party
Come Build Trail With Us!
Join the Oakridge Trails Alliance for a day of trail building, good food, and great company as we continue work on the Fugrass Connector.
This project is helping connect the iconic Bunchgrass Ridge and Fuji Mountain trail systems, creating one incredible backcountry experience. Whether you've been building trail for years or this is your very first work party, we'd love to have you join us.
