Maah Daah Hey Trail Association Wins
“Governor’s Take Pride in America” Award

The Maah Daah Hey Trail Association (MDHTA) was recently recognized for the Governor’s Take Pride in America in the non-profit category.  A ceremony was held at the State Capitol.  The program is a national partnership that recruits, supports, and recognizes public land volunteers.  The MDHTA was recognized for its annual celebration of National Trails Day where many volunteers work to maintain the MDH Trail.  The Take Pride in America program is coordinated by the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department and the North Dakota Tourism Division under the direction of the Governor’s office.  Mark Zimmerman nominated the MDHTA.  Don Mayer and Curt Glasoe attended the ceremony at the State Capitol.  According to Don Mayer, “The U.S. Forest Service builds and maintains trails and campgrounds while the (MDHT) association is there to help raise funds and awareness to support them.”
