Join TKO staff leadership in a leisurely walk along the west end of the Pendleton River Parkway. Learn what it takes to join the TKO Trail Accessibility Survey Team, a collaboration between Trailkeepers of Oregon and Access Recreation! Through this program, volunteers are trained on how to gather useful data on trails and trailheads, which is then input on OregonHikers.org so people of all abilities can make decisions about what adventures are right for them. See an example of the information gathered through surveys here.
No background or experience is required to join on Thursday, November 6 from 9:30am - 11:00am. Our trained and experienced TKO Survey Team will show you the process of collecting accessibility information, hopefully inspiring you to join a future training and get involved.
