Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency Board Meeting Scheduled for September 27, 2023
WHEELER, OR - The Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency (STIA) is holding its next board meeting on September 27, 2023, to discuss the development and ongoing efforts surrounding the proposed Salmonberry Trail.
Thank You!
Thank you all for a super volunteer event today. We cleared over 450 yards of track, going past the first landslide to just short of the second (big) landslide. Awesome work! In the last two weeks, we've cleared 1,600 yards from the Williams Creek trestle to where we stopped
Exciting Volunteer Opportunities: Salmonberry Trail Clearing Events
I'm pleased to announce that we have scheduled three Salmonberry Trail clearing events for the coming week.
We have a delightful, lightly wooded stretch of track, approximately one mile in length, between the Williams Creek trestle and Hwy 47, that needs our attention. We will be focusing on removing mostly 1-2 inch fir saplings using hand tools (loppers and pruning saws - no power tools, please). The good news is there are very few blackberry vines to contend with.
Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici visits the Salmonberry Trail
Bonamici visited on June 26, and was hosted by Salmonberry Trail Foundation Director Caroline Fitchett who shared information about work on the trail that will one day connect Banks and Tillamook via the disused Port of Tillamook Bay rail line through the Salmonberry Pass.
In addition to the Catalyst Loop section in Washington County that Bonamici visited, Rockaway Beach is currently developing plans to build a two-and-a-half mile section of trail. Photo Courtesy of the Office of Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici.

Join Us On April 30 For A Trail Clearing Event With Power Tools!
Needed - We need to clear about 1.5 miles of abandoned railroad tracks covered with thorny bushes and thick overgrowth. We've been using powered hedge trimmers and line trimmers with some success. Do you have a powered trimmer or brushcutter that could trim weeds, small trees, and other foliage? Would you like to join me for a cutting event? We will start at Manning Trailhead and walk up the railroad tracks behind Hornshuh Fire Station in the Buxton area, cutting as we go. Click here if you want to join a small work party on Sunday, April 30!
We Cleared Nearly A Mile Of Track in Buxton!
It started as a cold and rainy day in Buxton — with cars passing covered in snow — and stayed that way. But more than 30 die-hard Salmonberry Trail Blazers showed up and cleared nearly a mile of trail! Thank you!
