(1) The State Parks and Recreation Department and the State Forestry Department shall, in cooperation with other interested state agencies, local governments, nonprofit organizations and other stakeholders, develop a plan to construct a trail along or adjacent to the portion of the former Pacific Railway and Navigation Company line between Banks and Tillamook, to be known as the Salmonberry Trail.

(2) The State Parks and Recreation Department and the State Forestry Department may coordinate with nonprofit organizations to raise funds and to develop, maintain and operate trail and trail facilities as necessary to implement the plan developed under this section.
