Trails and Health

Connecting people to nature and promoting good health are increasingly important in an age of sedentary lifestyles.

Visiting trails can have positive effects on physical and mental health. Outdoor recreation can help keep fit, reduce obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and heart disease. Emerging research also indicates that time spent in green space can help with stress reduction and mental health.

We hope you enjoy visiting these special places as much as we enjoy creating and caring for them.
