Diversity & Inclusion Policy
The LCTA board will always strive to represent, include, and serve a diverse population of Linn County residents, in both its activities and its membership. This diversity includes — but is not limited to — factors such as gender, race, ethnic heritage, age, residential location, socio-economic background, physical abilities, sexual orientation and gender identity, and many others to assure all perspectives and opinions are included for trail development and advocacy.
​
Diversity of trail usage is also an important part of our efforts. Trail users can walk, roll, run, skate, ski, or bike; use strollers, scooters, or trailers; and bring their pets with them — all are welcome and included. The trails are meant for everyone to find a healthy activity in nature to enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of Linn County.
