Oregon State Parks survey to determine funding for trails.

[Barb Adams]

Has this been posted yet? Thanks, barb

Oregon State University is conducting a once-per-decade assessment of non-motorized trail use on behalf of Oregon State Parks. The survey covers trail use anywhere in Oregon, from local parks to national forests.

We have sent surveys to a sample of trail users chosen at random, but we also would like to survey others who engage in non-motorized trail use. Could you help us "get the word out" to your club's members by forwarding this email to members, announcing the survey in your club newsletter, and/or posting on your club's Facebook page?

Survey responses will help local, state, and federal agencies efficiently allocate funding to meet the needs of non-motorized trail users. The survey, and each question in it, is voluntary. All responses are confidential – they will only be reported as part of larger groups.

People who fully complete and return the survey within three weeks will be entered into a drawing for one of two Oregon State Parks 12-month day use passes and one $100 grocery store gift certificate. We estimate about 1,200 people will qualify for the drawing. Responses will be most helpful if people complete the survey by November 26th.

The survey can be accessed by typing the following web address into the address bar – not search bar – of web browsers:

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact me by reply email or contact the project lead, Kreg Lindberg, at 541-322-3126, or by e-mail at [email protected].

Thank you very much for helping us gather input from a wide range of non-motorized trail users.

Sincerely,
