Having a bad day? Take a hike!

By Nicole C. & Robin P. on Oct 22

No, literally! A new study from the University of Rochester shows that interaction with nature makes us kinder, happier people who are more likely to give back to our communities and the environment.

EarthShare member Rails-To-Trails Conservancy is helping you catch those feel-good vibes by converting railroad track lines into walking, hiking and biking trails that we can all enjoy. To date, they’ve built more than 15,000 miles of trails across the U.S. and have hundreds of other projects underway! Visit Traillink.com to find a trail near you, or check out their Trail-building Toolbox .

When you head out for your hike, be sure to track your nature sightings! Our friends at National Wildlife Federation have an online Wildlife Watch where you and your family can share nature stories and track nature finds across the country. Can’t get outside? Check out their website for great nature photos and enter to win their monthly photo caption contest !
