Members of the Statewide Non-Motorized Trails Plan Steering Committee believe that evidence of sound trails planning should be a critical factor to consider in evaluating requests for Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) administered trail-related grant funding. As a result, the Steering Committees requested that the "Oregon Trails 2005-2014: A Statewide Action Plan" include a manual to encourage citizens, civic organizations, governments and private enterprise to collaborate more effectively on trail development.
To satisfy this request, OPRD staff developed a document entitled Creating Connections: The Oregon Recreational Trails How-To Manual.
The manual is intended to provide information and resources specific to Oregon for trail planning, acquisition, construction and management. The document is a modified version of the original publication, Creating Connections: The Pennsylvania Greenways and Trails How-To Manual, published in 1998 by the Pennsylvania Greenways Partnership - a cooperative effort of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Pennsylvania Environmental Council, Pennsylvania Field Office of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and the Conservation Fund. The state of Oregon and OPRD gratefully acknowledges the Pennsylvania Greenways Partnerships's permission to use their publication.
