Build Lebanon Trails

During the summer of 2021, we worked with the Build Lebanon Trails Association (BLT) to help them with their trail maps as they start to build more trails in Lebanon, Oregon. We started our pro bono work by making two trailhead kiosk maps that measured 2'x3' for use at kiosks on their marquee trail: The Old Mill Trail.

The project, from BLT's requirements to kiosk map printing and a ribbon cutting ceremony, took about 5 months. At the ceremony, Build Lebanon Trails had two great looking trailhead kiosks with maps and historical photos & information on the Lebanon area.

But for five months of work, we had only produced two maps, one at each end of the trailhead that would only be seen or used by those physically at the trailheads. Though the main goal is getting more people outdoors, geospatial software tools could help deliver more maps into more people’s hands.
