Here is a note from the host, Justin Boyles:
“Oregon’s state parks are some of the most beautiful and accessible places to connect with the natural world—and Environment Oregon is working to keep them that way. As a statewide environmental advocacy group, we’re dedicated to protecting clean air, clean water, open spaces and wildlife. From the rugged coast to the high desert and everything in between, we want to ensure that everyone can enjoy Oregon’s amazing state parks for generations to come.
That’s why we’re thrilled to be hosting a guided walk on the Banks-Vernonia State Trail as a part of our summer of Oregon State Parks. Join us on Friday, June 20th, at 4:00pm for a family-friendly walk along this scenic, rail-to-trail route through lush forest and quiet countryside. It’s a perfect opportunity to explore a piece of Oregon’s state park system while learning about what this amazing park has to offer, some of the challenges it faces and the role that each park and its visitors can play in our campaign. Bring your curiosity, walking shoes, and a friend — together, we can protect the places that make Oregon special.”
