Buckeye Trail Association
The Buckeye Trail is literally at our front door! How cool is that? The BTA has been organizing volunteers, maintaining the trail, conserving and protecting lands, mapping the trail, and much more since its inception in 1954. Their efforts have provided over 1,400 miles of hiking trails around the state of Ohio. In 2012, Milford had the ribbon cutting making the city an official “Trail Town”.
Since RRT’s first full year in 2011, we have been helping to sponsor events and fundraising for the BTA and, in 2012, became official sponsors of the Buckeye Trail Fest, the organization’s largest event. RRT continues support through events, Association promotions, and sponsorship.
2018 saw the first sponsored fundraiser for the Buckeye Trail at RRT. We were able to raise nearly $1,000 and also recruit over 2 dozen members for the BTA! We hope to co-organize more events including group hikes and increase exposure to this great trail as time goes on. Look for future events on the RRT page such as Buckeye Trail thru-hiker talks, ways to get involved, and trail town events!
