THE 76+ MILE TRAIL NETWORK, WHICH IS WITHIN A 10- MINUTE WALK OF EVERY RESIDENCE, PROVIDES FREE NATURE-BASED RECREATION AND TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN. GUIDED BY THE FOUNDATIONAL BELIEF THAT TRAILS ARE TOOLS FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE, PORTLAND TRAILS IS FOCUSING ON REDUCING SOCIAL BARRIERS SO THAT ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS FEEL WELCOME AND SAFE ON THE TRAILS. WHILE THE TRAILS PHYSICALLY REACH WITHIN 1/4 MILE OF EVERY RESIDENT IN PORTLAND, NOT EVERYONE FEELS WELCOME, SAFE, AND COMFORTABLE IN THESE PUBLIC SPACES. TRAILS NOT ONLY PROVIDE AN IMPORTANT CONNECTION TO NATURE BUT SERVE AS A VITAL LINK IN A MORE EQUITABLE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, CONNECT NEIGHBORS AND NEIGHBORHOODS, IMPROVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ENHANCE ECOLOGICAL AND HUMAN HEALTH, AND CREATE A MORE VIBRANT COMMUNITY. IN 2022, PORTLAND TRAILS FOCUSED ON THREE MAIN AREAS OF WORK: BUILDING NEW TRAILS AND PROVIDING NECESSARY MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES TO EXISTING TRAILS, IMPROVING WAYFINDING AND MAPPING WITHIN THE NETWORK, AND DEVELOPING AND LAUNCHING THE HEALTHIER NEIGHBORHOODS FOR ALL PROGRAM. PORTLAND TRAILS STARTED ITS LARGEST TRAIL PROJECT IN A DECADE: THE CLARK BROOK TRAIL IN WESTBROOK. THIS TRAIL PROJECT, FUNDED GENEROUSLY BY THE IDEXX FOUNDATION, WILL PROVIDE A CRITICAL OFF-ROAD LINK BETWEEN PORTLAND AND WESTBROOK. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRAIL WILL MEET OFFICIAL BYWAY STANDARDS, MEANING IT IS SIX FEET WIDE WITH A SMOOTH STONE DUST SURFACE. IT'S DESIGNED FOR COMMUTING AND IS SUITABLE FOR ROAD BICYCLES, STROLLERS, AND POTENTIALLY WHEELCHAIRS IN THE RIGHT WEATHER CONDITIONS. ANOTHER AREA OF FOCUS WAS NEW TRAIL USERS; CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT USING TRAILS, AND MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE TRAIL EXPERIENCE SO THAT ALL FEEL SAFE AND WELCOME. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AMERICORPS VOLUNTEER, PORTLAND TRAILS CREATED NEW SIGNAGE AND "YOU ARE HERE" MAPS TO GUIDE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE TRAIL SYSTEM. 2022 ALSO SAW THE LAUNCH OF OUR HEALTHIER NEIGHBORHOODS FOR ALL PROGRAM WITH THE HIRING OF OUR FIRST FULL-TIME INCLUSION COORDINATOR, ANGELIQUE BITSHILUALUA. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF PORTLAND'S NEIGHBORHOODS, WITH A FOCUS ON LOW- INCOME, BIPOC, AND IMMIGRANT RESIDENTS, BY INCREASING AWARENESS AND USAGE OF LOCAL TRAILS AND OUTDOOR SPACES. PORTLAND TRAILS LOOKS FORWARD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROGRAM, AND WORKING WITH RESIDENTS TO CO-CREATE COMMUNITY-DRIVEN CHANGES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT SUPPORT ACTIVE LIFESTYLES, IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH, AND PROVIDE CAR-FREE TRANSPORTATION OPPORTUNITIES. 486139 true true false false false false true false false true true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true true false X JON KACHMAR 2077752411 38 DIAMOND STREET PORTLAND ME 04101 RHONDA FORRESTER PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 HANNAH SILADI VICE PRESIDE 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MATTHEW FORSYTH SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 PARKER MADDEN TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL BOTTICELLO PRESIDENT EM 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ETHAN BOXER-MACOMBER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CATANIA TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY ABRAMS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUE COLLARD TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA G MCHUGH TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID MARSDEN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIM SEAVEY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXUS BOND TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JON KACHMAR EXECUTIVE DI 40.00 X 96730 0 7329 96730 7329 false false false 7887 706958 2003 714845 SALE - EDUCATION MAT'L 900099 1233 1233 1233 43120 43120 CONTRACTED SERVICES 900099 70482 70482 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 23652 23652 94134 853332 95367 43120 98170 54102 30710 13358 385353 213965 118543 52845 12730 7350 3516 1864 60038 2820 56940 278 41151 20918 15024 5209 18184 18184 55995 22201 31850 1944 9564 9465 99 25150 4764 8926 11460 4223 2720 1503 52522 21839 27770 2913 16383 16383 23159 12051 11108 TRAIL CONSTR. & REPAIRS 82405 71039 10411 955 OTHER 36804 20026 14042 2736 DUES 5720 1694 3820 206 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 5438 2928 1578 932 4134 1874 723 1537 937123 486139 354648 96336 678294 599527 22000 21784 5624 4511 3636 6773 9903 883345 400075 499653 483270 755770 781945 1972625 1900065 35535 20591 111843 87588 147378 108179 X 1571979 1651616 253268 140270 1825247 1791886 1972625 1900065 -83791 50430 X true X false false false X 556639 682653 648927 684868 714845 3287932 33856 25277 17490 30217 95367 202207 590495 707930 666417 715085 810212 3490139 10773 15194 10353 28502 64822 10773 15194 10353 28502 64822 3425317 20197 12218 24741 57156 20197 12218 24741 57156 19197 11218 23741 39813 42120 136089 629889 731366 714899 754898 852332 3683384 0.92990 0.92080 0.02000 0.02000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X 14 55.17 1 false 40.00 300 602089 75103 10197 666995 554523 73053 14830 10657 602089 568382 79532 -70484 13250 9656 554523 466072 15000 97792 10482 568382 418566 66379 11630 7242 466072 0.84950 0.07450 0.07600 true false 440584 440584 137495 110144 27351 305266 289931 15335 483270 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN ASSETS HELD B 694357 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 87588 781945 RIGHT OF USE LIABILITY 87588 87588 X 903762 50430 50430 853332 853332 937123 937123 937123 SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRES MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATION AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY IF THE ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND STATE TAXING AUTHORITIES.
