The Community Benefits of Accessible Nature
ECONOMY
The Greenway promotes our small-town charm and outdoor tourism. It creates the kind of quality of life that encourages business investment. Visitors often capstone their walk by stopping by one of our downtown's local eateries.
HEALTH
Spending time in nature encourages movement, boosts cardiovascular health, and supports immune function. Small bouts of physical activity in natural environments can reduce fatigue, improve sleep quality, and enhance the body’s natural defense systems.
SOCIAL BONDS
The Greenway connects people to neighborhoods, schools, local businesses, and other places of interest. Visitors experience a sense of awe in nature that fosters empathy, trust, and bonding. Outdoor activities help reduce loneliness and increase social cohesion.
ENVIRONMENT
The Greenway helps improve air and water quality by providing options for non-motorized transportation, while also helping manage soil erosion caused by stormwater runoff. Visitors of all ages can learn the value of conservation easements by seeing protected habitats.
