BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES THROUGH MOVEMENT​

Move Oregon is a statewide initiative dedicated to connecting people across Oregon through trails, community events, and shared spaces that encourage movement, wellness, and meaningful connection.

THE VISION

Oregon is defined by its scale-the misty peaks of the Cascades, the rhythm of
the Pacific surf, and the deep quiet of the High Desert. Our vision is to channel
that raw energy into a civic framework that supports mental and physical
wellness for all.

"We aren't just protecting trails; we're building the infrastructure for a healthier, more connected populace that draws strength from the very ground beneath their feet."

Access goal for public trails by 2030.
