COTA: Central Oregon Trail Alliance

We'll gather at the Pozzi Education building at the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory
57245 River Rd, Sunriver, OR 97707

Join us on Thursday, May 26th from 5:30-7:30 pm for our Trail Maintenance 101 presented by
Josh Owen (Trail Maintenance Coordinator)

Trail Maintenance 101 is an introduction to who COTA is, the work we do, and how we do that work. If you have never done trail work, only been out a couple times, or just curious this presentation is for you. This will be a brief overview of topics and at the end we will cover next steps to getting involved as well as non-trail work opportunities.

All are welcome! No experience needed. Bring a friend!

Hope to see you there!

A small sawyer crew will be camping and trying to get all the downfall removed from lookout mt trails and round mt. We will be camping by the upper trail head. We would love to have some help swamping behind us by removing branches and debris. Between lookout round and line we have about 120 trees down. We will be on bikes. Please text me for more details. 360-701-3388. Randy

We're going to be doing it a little differently this month and combining it with a mini work party at Bike Park 242 to help get ready for our Pump & Jump Clinic the following Saturday.

What we'll be doing:

• Discussing chapter updates including the STAR project
• Weed management
• Prepping pump tracks and beginner jump lines

I'll be bringing non-alcoholic beverages for everyone. Please bring a camp chair if you would like to sit on something more comfortable than the picnic tables.

Join us for Monday Funday!

We're moving to Kent's tackle the drains. No experience necessary just the desire to give back to your trails. We'll take care of the training, the tools, PPE, and after work beverages. Long pants and closed toed shoes are required. Please bring water and any food you might need. Also, don’t forget to bring appropriate layers.

How to find us:
Meet at 4610 Road off Skyliner. We will carpool up to Kent's.

When: We plan to hit the trail at 5:30. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early, so we can have an on-time start.

Be prepared to work and to have FUN! Talking about the trails and the techniques used to maintain them is fun, so ask questions if you have them.

Women of COTA is centered on bringing women together in a supportive environment to learn about COTA and the trail building/maintenance process. You do not need to be a COTA member and everyone is welcome.

Plan on working snow, rain or shine. If there is inclement weather, smoke from wildfires, or anything COTA deems dangerous, I will update this Meetup page and also send an email to everyone out through Meetup. If you do not hear from me, the event is on.
