The Oregon Historic Trails Advisory Council will hold its spring meeting in Albany at 8:15 a.m. Saturday, April 29. The meeting will be in the Board Room at the Comfort Suites at 100 Opal Street NE, Albany. This meeting is free and open to the public and there is no charge for attending. Agenda items include B2H transmission line, Barlow Trail media project and other trail related topics. In 1998, the Governor established OHTAC to oversee and provide advice on Oregon’s16 historic trails. The Council is made up of nine governor-appointed volunteer-citizens working together to advise the Governor and to locate, preserve and encourage the use of these historic trails by Oregonians and visitors to our state. The Council meets three times a year to explore at least one of the 16 designated historic trails. Guided by local residents and/or public agency experts, the Council members evaluate and record trail conditions and discuss opportunities for the marking, interpretation and protection of the trails.
