Buckeye Trail advocacy reaches a wider audience

The Buckeye Trail’s effort to become a National Scenic Trail is gaining momentum—and media attention.
Earlier this month, WTOL-11 (Toledo) aired a feature story on the Buckeye Trail Association (BTA) and its ongoing advocacy to secure national recognition through the National Trails System Act.

In the segment, BTA Executive Director Andrew Bashaw explains how National Scenic Trail status would raise awareness for the 1,400-mile trail and open access to federal funding to support maintenance, signage, and volunteer coordination.
