National Trails Day is fast approaching and we have two great events with our partners. If you feel like a hike check out this one with Prscott Valley Recreation. Want to build trail alongside all our amazing local trail building volunteers? We've got you covered on that too. National Trails Day is a day to celebrate and appreciate our trails and the unique gifts they give us. The trails offer much fun, yes. However they also offer us health and wellness, and connection to each other as well as our natural spaces. Trails also help us preserve those natural spaces and grow in our own understanding of how things work (science). Trails offer us so many benefits and they're certainly worth celebrating. 🥾🐴🚴‍♂️🧡
