Celebrate National Trails Day® at Fairview Farm with a Guided Walk on Sunday, June 13th

National Trails Day® is a celebration of trails that evolved from the report of President Ronald Reagan's President's Commission on Americans Outdoors. In 1987, the report recommended that all Americans be able to go out their front doors and within fifteen minutes, be on trails that wind through their cities or towns and bring them back without retracing steps. The recommendation, dubbed Trails for All Americans, became the impetus behind National Trails Day® in 1993.

To celebrate National Trails Day the Upper Raritan Watershed Association will host free guided trail walks at Fairview Farm on Sunday, June 13th. The walks will be a great opportunity to breathe fresh air, get your heart pumping and escape from stress! Guided walks will begin at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., noon and 1:00 p.m. and each will last approximately one hour. The terrain is not challenging, but the trails will be muddy if it rains beforehand, so be sure to wear appropriate shoes (sneakers, walking shoes or other closed toe footwear is recommended). No reservations are necessary, and participants are welcome to stay after the guided walk to explore more of the trails at Fairview Farm.
