Information for Maintainers

The Ozark Highlands Trail is maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers. Sections of the OHT are “adopted” by individuals, families or groups and maintained at least twice a year. A report is then filled out and sent into the OHTA volunteer coordinator. These are then analyzed and turned over to the Forest Service district offices. These reports tell us what condition each section of the trail is in, and especially if there are any problem areas that we need to pay special attention to. We will normally have at least one group maintenance trip each month that is open to everyone to one of these problem areas. No experience is necessary–only a willingness to take care of this great trail facility. While all of our sections are usually adopted, there is always a chance that one will open up, or someone will want to share a section. To find out more about adopting your own section of the OHT, or just to help with the maintenance, contact our maintenance coordinator:
