Under this program, families, businesses, and groups will adopt a trail or portion of a trail and provide for maintenance such as trimming back branches, mowing sides when needed, and collecting trash. Some groups may even want to do some simple trail construction or add trail signs or trail head markers. OVP signs at the adopted trailhead will recognize the group that has adopted the trail. And adopting groups will receive OVP guidelines and technical assistance.

We need to take care and keep the pathways clean so our children can enjoy the astounding beauty of the Valley I years to come. ese pathways preside next door to Pineview. This gives the scenery an even more professional look. Every year around spring, a scented breeze is cast about, warming your face and whipping your hair up. The trails are bursting with color. You can see the lilac trees standing wielding it s buds. Many wild flowers are in bloom. As you stand alone on the rail, all the cares in the world wash away with the swaying pines. There are open skied, and large fields to roam. Or you could go on the switchbacks filled with trees and frolicking squirrels. Once you start the hike, you’ll never want the experience to end. We want the entire world to see our proud Ogden Valley Pathways. Just pay attention, and do your part to keep the trails safe. We can enjoy them for the rest of our lives. Ogden Valley Pathways By Marne’ Pack, Sixth grade student Does anyone love nature? Well, I do too, and that is one of my best reasons why I think pathways are tremendous! Another one of y reasons is you can get some great exercise. My last but not least would have to be as a community we can get more united. I love nature so much that I think that we can help preserve our pathways and keep them nice and clean. Some of the things we can do to help our nature grow on our pathways would be, not Wolf picking the flowers, don’t litter—if you do see some litter, pick it up and throw it away—and we should also be able to have school learning activities to help preserve our patoways. of the values of our Ogden Valley Pathways is being able to exercise and being more united to together. I think these are two very strong reasons because you can go on a nice little bike ride with your friends or family without worrying about big trucks that are going way too fast and hit you. A way we can be more united I you can want to go to your friends’ house and your mom can’t take you so you have the choice to be able to ride your bike on the path and be perfectly safe. (Of course, after you get to your friend’s house, you need to call your mom. So, in conclusion, we need to take care and love our pathways for nature, exercise, and being more united. I appreciate all that the Pathway’s people have done for us and to make Ogden Valley Pathways possible. Thank you! How We Can Protect Ogden Valley Pathways By Shaylise Messerly, Sixth grade student I think that if we all try to pick up trash when we see it and stop littering on the trails, it will help make the environment safe for animals. We should also try pulling more weeds! Everywhere you hike there are weeds. If you pull the weeds when you walk past them, then soon there will be no more weeds to pull. We should leave animals’ homes and territory alone! It will keep us from getting hurt by the animals, and them from getting their homes ruined. We should respect the animals’ environment. We should not ruin their homes, and we should be quiet when we are close to their homes. ou’re walking on a trail, stay on the trail! You should NEVER go offa trail; it will ruin the environment and confuse future hikers because of the new trails that it makes.
