Chiloquin is a rural community in southern Oregon and the capital of the Klamath Nation. The Trust for Public Land is working to develop and implement the Chiloquin community’s vision for a vibrant, green and welcoming schoolyard. Residents of Chiloquin have a strong sense of community, but few public places to come together. The $25,000 grant provided by BNSF Railway Foundation goes toward a revitalized schoolyard that will be open to the community after school and on the weekends.
Ensuring Care for Returning Veterans
The Returning Veterans Project provides free, confidential mental and physical health services for post-9/11 war zone veterans, service members and their military families in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Their diverse network of volunteer health providers and clinics offers high-quality, individualized services. BNSF Railway Foundation’s donation of $5,000 supports quality care for the veterans volunteer provider expansion project.
