This Long Trails Project has been conceived in partnership with the Oregon Parks Department to provide both a context and a definition for the Salmonberry Trail as part of a larger long trails network. Our goal has been to help better understand and illustrate the value and limitations of trails development for both state and regional branding, and regional and community economic development. The Long Trails Project was conceived of as part of USP 549:Regional Planning and Metropolitan Growth Management, a course offered to graduate planning students in the Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning at Portland State University
