Community
*Oldest Events at bottom.
Community is the heart of Trajectory.
There are no jobs, no schools, no culture, and no city without a community supporting it. We believe in supporting the community in many forms. Currently, Trajectory is focused on public education through articles, traveling presentations, and local community events. During two years of community research, we found one thing binds all lovers of the Oregon forest... Hikers, Foresters, Students, Fisher/Hunters, Environmental Stewards, and more all tend to be inherently supportive communities.
Our specialty is in public education, training programs, and celebrations, but who knows what we might be able to help you out with. Shoot us an email if you have an idea or suggestion. Maybe we can arrange an educational tour for your Home School Group, maybe we can help your kids get into outdoor activities, maybe your nonprofit needs help from ours. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Trajectory is Connecting Communities through Sustainable Forestry. We do this by brokering relationships between k-12 education and Professionals in Forestry and Related Sectors... Our youth currently have limited access to careers in natural spaces and the public has become disconnected from what happens in our woodlands. With your help, Trajectory is tying it all back together!
Raise a scholarship of $5,000 will be awarded to an incoming freshman in a Forestry or Related Trades Program in the fall of 2025.
Support new "Work Study Programs" aimed at getting new hires with a rough past geared and trained up. $2,500 for boots, tools, and tests.
