Portland Trails is a people-powered organization. That means we want your input about new trail projects, we have you in mind when we advocate for safer bikeways, and we work hard to connect you to the rest of your city. Being people-powered also means that we rely on our members to support our work in Greater Portland.⠀

Exciting update from the field: we bought a new (to us) truck! Say hello to our shiny new green machine 🚛 Any suggestions for what we should name it?

Winter is a great time for our trail steward, Daniel, to focus on invasive plants on the trails. Now that the busy field season is over, he can devote lots of time to surveying & mapping invasives and developing a plan to manage them throughout the year. Plus, he gets to enjoy views like this faraway glimpse of Jewel Falls.

This sweet rescue dog is putting those snowy trails behind @animalrefugeleague to good use! How are your furry friends enjoying the snow? Tag us in pics of your dog out on the trails!

Thanks to our friends at @evergreen_credit_union and the ARLGP for helping us get these trails in good shape!

Last month, we partnered with @cultivatingcommunitymaine and @resiliencehub for one of our placemaking mini-grant projects! Together, we organized a community workday at the Boyd Street Community Farm. Over the course of the day with help from friends and neighbors, we built an extra-large picnic table for group meals (like the one in the first picture), built and installed several cedar benches around the garden area, helped build raised garden beds, and improved a very well-used path through the garden to connect East and West Bayside. If you swipe, you can see a few of our hard workers from the day, including some helpful kiddos who proved you’re never too young to pick up a rake!
