PROVO

Three volunteers on Thursday will be given 2003 Volunteers Program National Awards by U.S. Forest Service officials.

BYU ground department employee Brian Eastman has helped maintain the Y. Mountain Trail for eight years. He will be honored for providing more than 1,000 hours of service and for organizing projects for local church groups and Eagle Scouts.

Former Pleasant Grove District Ranger Robert R. Easton retired from the Forest Service last year after serving 42 years. He is responsible for continued progress on the Great Western Trail and Bonneville Shoreline Trail.

James El Price, trails system planner for Mountainlands Association of Governments, has coordinated the trail projects that link city, state and federal lands within Utah, Wasatch and Juab counties.
