Mission Statement
Trailkeepers of Oregon (TKO) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and enhance the Oregon hiking experience through advocacy, stewardship, outreach and education.
About This Cause
Our organization was born out of the Portland Hikers Forum, a community forum for hiking enthusiasts that was established in 2006, and has now grown to become the OregonHikers.org, TKO’s free, online community for hikers. As the original forum grew, a user-built field guide was created and, and has now grown to become the Oregon Hikers Field Guide, a free online resource hosted by TKO and maintained by dozens of volunteer authors. Early on, the many volunteers behind the original hiking forum and field guide saw that many of our trails are at risk and in need of active champions and engaged stewards to advocate for them: TKO was formed by the forum community in the fall of 2007 to address these concerns. Today TKO organizes and leads trail advocacy efforts and volunteer trail maintenance activities. Currently, TKO activities are centered around the northwest region of Oregon, but we are gradually expanding our footprint to serve the entire state. TKO also hosts the OregonHikers.org Forum and Field Guide as part of our continuing outreach and education efforts.
