Nominations due June 30, 2022, 11:59pm
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) and Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council (ORTAC) are calling for nominations for the annual Doug Newman Memorial Award. The 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.
