Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council seeks nominations for 2 awards
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) The Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council (ORTAC) is calling for nominations for two awards: the annual Doug Newman Memorial Award and a new award category for outstanding trail stewardship partners.
The Doug Newman award honors an individual whose hard work, integrity and social responsibility have made significant statewide contributions to non-motorized trails within Oregon. The award pays tribute to Doug Newman, an Oregonian whose efforts have inspired, benefited and contributed to the trails and trail users of Oregon. Doug was an avid outdoorsman, author, outdoor writer for the Eugene Register-Guard and ORTAC member. The memorial award was established shortly after his passing in 1992.
