The 2025 Volunteer of the Year Award was enthusiastically presented at the annual volunteer picnic to current Greenway Commission (GC) Chairman and dedicated Mid-Week Crew member, Barry Trent! Former GC Chairman Greg Walter describes Barry’s trail work as “a real ‘energizer bunny’ when working on building trail. Working next to him can make me look like I’m goofing off.” Barry has also tirelessly led the GC Transition Committee tasked with evaluating and updating the job description for the vacant Greenway Coordinator position. Attending dozens of meetings and corresponding with the five member localities of the GC, Barry has devoted countless hours to the process of finding a new Greenway Coordinator. We are grateful for his service to the community and proudly add his name to the Volunteer of the Year plaque for 2025.
