- About the Advisory Committee -
Because Forest Park is a unique natural resource which provides both vital environmental and recreational benefits, the 15-member Advisory Committee is comprised of a broad representation of stakeholders, from ecologists to cyclists, from runners to neighbors of the park. Using the recently adopted Trail Design Guidelines for Trail Type G-Mountain Biking, the committee members had two goals – to develop a common language for single track and trail development, and to set a goal for short-term single track cycling opportunities in the park.
For further information on the work of the Advisory Committee and the scope and parameters of their mission, please contact Elizabeth Kennedy-Wong, PP&R Public involvement Manager, at 503.823.5113 or at elizabeth.kennedy-wong@portlandoregon.gov.
