Business Meeting 6:30 p.m. Presentation: 7:15 p.m.
Speaker: Byron Guy
Topic: The Life of a Buckeye Trail Section Supervisor
Meet Byron Guy, volunteer supervisor for the Troy section of Ohio's Buckeye Trail, which for him is 1,444 miles of the most scenic and historical trail anywhere in the nation. Byron is also Co-Section Supervisor for the Old Man's Cave section in southeast Ohio as well as the maintainer for the Grandma Gatewood National Recreational Trail. He is in charge of 24 individual maintainers that have adopted smaller portions of the trail in each of these sections. Mr. Guy will share his experiences hiking and working on the Buckeye Trail, how he got involved as a volunteer and how anyone can become a BTA volunteer. He will also tell some history of the Buckeye Trail and highlights of the Troy section that runs from the Wright Brothers' Memorial in Greene County through Dayton and on to the Lockington Locks near Piqua in Miami County. He'll also explain how to use the Buckeye Trail website to find information like trail alerts and special trail features.
“ Byron Guy gave an excellent presentation on the Buckeye Trail and maintaining it. he came all the way way from Lancaster, ohio to give the presentation. He shared the need for volunteers to maintain the trail as it is funded and maintained on a totally volunteer basis but does incorporate sections of state and local parks too. ”
