March 29, 2018. “Be There for The Gorge”, a crowdfunding campaign sponsored by Oregon’s Kitchen Table, came to a close on March 15 after successfully raising nearly $150 thousand to benefit trails around Multnomah Falls that were affected by the Eagle Creek Fire.
Organizers of the campaign are extremely grateful for everyone who participated — from REI and Danner Boots, who contributed Buffs and hiking boots, to local organizations like Friends of the Columbia Gorge and the hundreds of individuals that donated their own funds to the cause. The money raised will go toward restoring the Angel’s Rest trail and parts of the Wahkeena Falls trail. The goal is to have these trails open to the public by sometime this summer.
Those still wanting to support the restoration of trails within the Eagle Creek burned area can do so by donating to the Eagle Creek Fire Restoration Fund.
