Trail Power: Economic study shows how trails benefit communities
For trail users and supporters, it’s no secret that access to the outdoors brings many benefits. Better health for users of course, but also positive economic and environmental impacts for communities. Thanks to a recent study about the Carolina Thread Trail network, we can now assign a monetary value to many of these intangibles.

2/11/23: Spotted daffodils in full bloom, most likely the bulbs were replanted by the local squirrel population. Also spotted two bucks in the woods (creek side). It was a nice day for a run.
