Benefits of Trails
Why do Trails Matter???
- Help Communities Grow - "Trails consistently remain the number one community amenity sought by prospective homeowners.” - (National Association of Homebuilders, 2008). People want to live and work in areas with recreational opportunities.
- Improve Health & Wellness - trails provide an area for exercise safe from vehicular traffic (walking, biking, running, etc.). According to the Mayo Clinic, exercise "controls weight, combats health conditions and disease, improves mood, boosts energy, and promotes better sleep."
- Cultivate Respect & Citizenship - being outdoors and experiencing and connecting to the wonders of nature and the happiness and boost it gives to us leads us to develop more respect and care for our country's natural resources.
Help Us Make A Difference!
We Need Your Help! 100% of our funding comes from donations or grants and goes toward the construction and maintenance of our trail system. Grants are never a sure thing, and they require a high matching % of privately raised funding, so any money you give helps amplify the amount we might eventually receive. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so any and all donations to South Adams Trails, Inc. are tax-deductible. Thank you for your generosity and your support!
