#hikingtrails — Public Fediverse posts

I have jumped into my #thesis work, looking at the associations between #access to #GreenSpace—such as that found in #parks, #gardens, #forests, #HikingTrails, #GreenRoofs, and #StreetTrees—and various #HealthOutcomes. I am also looking at #WillingnessToPay for access to green space in consideration of its health-promoting effects. 3/6

On one side of the #SacoRiver in #HollisMaine is #IndianCellarPreserve ...

"This is a lovely 81-acre preserve by the Saco River, with great #WalkingTrails. All together, there are about 3 miles of trails here, as well as some #swimming spots. There is a promontory with a great vista of the Saco River and a little picnic table. This preserve seems to be less trammeled than its neighbor across the river — #PleasantPointPark — and also somewhat popular with #MountainBikers. The perimeter trail, which is about 1.6 miles or so, is very well blazed. The interior trails are less well marked and seemingly less used.

"There is also more information about the site at the #TrustForPublicLand.

"Directions: If you’re coming from #Route202 east, you will turn left after crossing the bridge over the Saco River from Buxton. Take a left onto Old Alfred Road, and the parking lot is immediately on your left. You’ll see a sign for the preserve, and some stone steps."
