The OTA now has a full-time trail maintainer—Devin! Working along the northern part of the OT this week, Devin will be out on the trail tackling maintenance projects, and we’re inviting volunteers to join him! Whether you’re a seasoned sawyer or just want to lend a hand, there’s a place for you.

Here’s the tentative plan for July 5th:

🛠️ July 5: Courtois Section Trail Clearing! Devin will be working with volunteer sawyers to clear trees from mile 0-5 on the Courtois Section. Trail clearing work also includes lopping, weed eating, and signing.

📝 Want to help? Bring your gloves, water, lunch, and trail spirit—Devin will provide the tools and guidance. Since locations vary, please email Devin at dev.barnett@gmail.com for information on where to meet for the work day.

Together, we can keep the Ozark Trail wild and wonderful. See you on the trail!
