USFS-WRCMBA Cost Share Agreement (on hold due to current presidential administration defunding and privatizing public lands)
WCTA board members had successfully negotiated a cost-share agreement with the USFS, Gold Beach-Powers Ranger District in 2021. This means, as a club, we can actively start maintenance on USFS land for high-needs trails that we are loosing due to fires, lack of maintenance and funding, neglect, etc. in Curry County. This is a big success for the club, now we must SHOW UP! (again, we are can not actually uphold our end of the agreement because the USFS in GB has been wiped out of employees, stay tuned and maybe we can get back to working on public lands in 4 years….)
Tool Cache & Club Trailer = We Did It!
The Club was successful in its request for funding from the Federal Recreational Trails Program (RTP) for trail tools and a trailer for storage and transport to our projects. The total project cost is $13,136 with $3010 of that total being donated by the club and local businesses through discounted equipment purchases.
Big thanks to C&M Equipment in Gold Beach, Trailers Plus in Medford, and Ptarmigan Ptrails in Port Orford.
We also now have a Canycom, mechanized wheelbarrow, for volunteers to haul tools, gravel, generators, and anything else we may need to help make our trail maintenance successful.
