Following is an e-mail from Stephanie Beall of ODF. The volunteer contributions from all of the user groups between December 2008 and April 2009 allowed her to apply for additional funds from FEMA to go towards the Forest Grove district trails and facilities. Every litte bit helps - great job for all of you who have contributed to the ODF over the last 5 months... * * * * * Hi Everyone, Thanks for your help in rounding up the volunteer documentation needed for our FEMA submission. ODF is applying to cover some of the expenses related to clearing the debris off of the trails and out of the facilities caused by the December 2008 snow event. As with grants, ODF can show your volunteer time and donated equipment time (such as chainsaws) as our required 25% match for FEMA dollars. When the math was completed, the federal representative was blown away by the fact that between December 20, 2008 and April 24, 2009 – volunteers from the equestrian, ATV, hiking, motorcycle, mountain bike, and 4x4 communities donated a combined total of work equivalent to $17,707.29 in time and equipment use for the Forest Grove District trails and facilities. Thank you again for your help with the documentation, but especially for your contribution to the Tillamook State Forest recreation program. Great job team! Stephanie A. Beall Recreation Coordinator Tillamook State Forest 801 Gales Creek Road Forest Grove, OR 97116 503.359.7464 egov.oregon.gov/ODF/TSF/Recreation.shtml
