The Harrods Creek Trail Association is using the

Appalachian Trail Club model and seeks to establish an Association of hikers and riders who will spend a week-ends or other free time maintaining the path, cutting the deadfall, placing stones in creeks to step on when crossing, keeping trail edges from eroding and occasionally making a scheduled trash patrol packing out the inevitable paper or plastic left by the uncaring, who have not learned “the pack it in pack it out” ethic of good hikers and riders. The peer pressure and the educational value of the volunteer maintainers is vital to the establishment of the trail and will go a long way towards assuring land owners that their participation and granting of easements will not be an action they would regret. The easements might be granted to and Association and membership could be a requirement for use. The fellowship of the group and the value of their labor will be priceless in building community. Groups could take responsibility for a section. Scout troops, pony clubs, surrounding stables, church youth groups, teachers with biology, botany, and environmental awareness classes. St. Francis School, Oldham County middle and high schools, Goshen, Liberty and Harmony and Kenwood or La Grange elementary schools students, parents and teachers would be a source of support. Civic clubs who could become involved are North Oldham Lions Club, Prospect,-Goshen Rotary, Crestwood and La Grange Rotary Clubs.
