The Mission of View the Future includes support of recreation. To that end, the budget includes a “restricted fund” for trails and our activities include writing grant applications for trail development in the Yachats area. One grant VtF received recently was for the replacement of the Amanda Bridge which had been installed in 2011. Unfortunately, that 62-foot long continuous span fiberglass bridge was destroyed in a massive landslide in December 2015. View the Future again is partnering with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, the City of Yachats and their Trails Committee, and Joanne Kittel, both of VtF and a private landowner to build a new bridge where a half-mile of the Amanda Trail crosses the Amanda Creek. View the Future is raising funds to help match the cost for a bridge above Amanda Creek. The estimated time of accomplishing this capital construction project is October 2018.
