some point to
establish and maintain trail usage. Wilbur T. "Gibby"
Gibson was the first recipient in 2001. In laying
out the trails at Bark Camp, Gibby
petitioned the Ohio State Legislature for support before creating and
maintaining the trails on his own. Because of his work, the Ohio State Park System has dedicated the
horse camp at Bark Camp in his honor. He was also honored at Harrison
State Forest in Harrison County for
same. Both places have trails named for him. Gibby
passed in April, 2008 but his legacy lives on. The Gibby Award is a
traveling award. The winner is presented with their own plaque and
the merit committee has one with all names on it. Neil Shaw was the
winner in 2002, Larry Matthews in 2003, Kathie Bruno in 2004, Don
Wagner in 2005, and
Mike Gerard in 2006,
Doug Adams in 2007 and Bob Oakley in 2008.
