Connecting and protecting our special places while building community in nature
Community Trail Farm
“We in the United States are leading such busy strenuous lives that recreation has become an absolute necessity. We are in a hurry all the time. There can be no doubt of it that the worry and bustle of our modern living leads to a great many premature deaths. Many useful lives are blotted out because they did not take time for recreation. If we are going to keep pace with our civilization, we must find the public an outlet in the great outdoors.” -Louis H. Pammel, 1924
