Source One Serenity's Trail Program
Make Impact on Public Lands
In 2025, we conducted several trail work events at Douglas County's Mildred Kanipe Memorial Park, a trail hitch on Fish Lake Trail in the Umpqua National Forest, a volunteer day at Wild Rose Trail, and completed Reynolds Shelter!
Watch this video to see how the trail in Mildred Kanipe Memorial Park looks now and learn why this work is so meaningful for veterans.
Umpqua National Forest
Restoring Reynolds Shelter
On July 18, 2025, veterans and community volunteers completed the rebuilding of Reynolds Shelter on Reynolds Ridge in the Umpqua National Forest.
Upcoming Projects and Events
Trail Work on Wild Rose Trail and Storytelling
June 27, 2026: Join us at Illahee Flats for our 4th annual Trail Work and Storytelling event with Earl, a Klamath Modoc elder and Raven storyteller with his brother.
Camping will be available from Friday, June 26 through Sunday, June 28. The site is primitive but has a restroom facility. Please bring your own camping gear.
Whether you're able to join for the trail work or just want to be part of the community gathering and storytelling, you're warmly welcome. Come for the whole weekend or just a portion of it — whatever works for you.
This event is open to veterans, their families, and community members.

“Conservation is getting nowhere because it is incompatible with our Abrahamic concept of land. We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
