At its last work party, the Washington Trail Riders Association replaced broken corral gates, cleaned out fire pits and installed site signs at the Rock Creek Campground in Yacolt, with a partnership developed with other equine and hiker user groups.

Weekend work parties have been a big focus of the Washington Trail Riders Association during the past few years. They often partner with other groups, such as the Washington Trails Association and Jones Creek Trail Riders Association. The next big cleanup will be the "Pick Up the Burn," event in May in the Yacolt Burn area.
When Annmarie Ertolacci and her husband moved to Camas last year, they weren’t the only ones who needed help navigating the new area.
Their horses, Buck and Chili, escaped from their Livingston Mountain home. Thankfully, members of the Washington Trail Riders Association were able to find the wayward wanderers.
