Celebrating 2023 Trail Care Program Accomplishments and Volunteers

On Sunday December 3, 2023, KTA had the opportunity to show our appreciation (and that of hikers statewide) at the 1st Annual Trail Care Volunteer Celebration! We started with some pizza and other goodies while socializing and viewing photos from this year's work. Then, Manager of Trail Maintenance and Training, Jenn Ulmer, presented a slideshow with some stats and accomplishments and preliminary plans for next year.

We thankfully acknowledged 2023 Trail Care Volunteer Event Leaders and monetary donations to the Trail Care program. And then the fun part - recognizing those volunteers who went above and beyond and attended 3 or more events. Stay tuned for next year's schedule of Trail Care events for your opportunity to give back! Special thanks to Rock God Brewing Company for donating the staff and venue fees for our event.


Congratulations and thank you to the following volunteers, who received rewards in the form of patches or shirts:

• Volunteered at 3 Events: Brian MacNamara, Shira Blady, Tom O'Donnell, Wanda Shirk, and Chris Brady
• 4 Events: Joe Hardisky and Polly Chatterton
• 5 Events: Al Germann
• 6 Events: Martyann Gutierrez and Woody Loudenslager
• 9 Events: Donna Thompson
