<p class="MsoNormal">In 1998, the Governor established OHTAC to oversee and provide advice on Oregon’s 16 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 public agency experts, the council members
evaluate and record trail conditions and discuss opportunities for the marking, interpretation and protection of the trails. For information visit the OTHAC
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/pages/ohtac.aspx">webpage</a> or contact Loren Irving, 541-480-4167.<o:p></o:p></p>
