Go for a Hike (In the City) Healthy Environment Stories
Go for a Hike (in the City) Healthy Environment Stories Are you looking for a place to connect with nature or just relax but can’t make a trip to the mountains? Try a trail right in the city! Seattle parks are home to some 96 miles of “soft” trails in forested, beach, bluff, and meadow areas where you can walk, hike, run, and in some cases ride trail bikes. The U.S. Forest Service has recognized trails for their recreational value since the 1930s, and for their contributions to our health and well-being since the 1960s. The popularity of trails continues to increase. They provide access to environmentally sensitive areas while protecting those areas themselves by encouraging people to stay on their groomed surfaces. At Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR), Chukundi “Trails Guy” Salisbury has tended, created, and overseen our trails for the last 17 years. Asked what he thinks are the main reasons people use and love their trails, Salisbury says without hesitation, “to get out into the forests and green spaces of the city, to walk or otherwise exercise, and because they’re free and accessible – there are trails in parks in every corner of the city.” In 2011, Salisbury brought his brain child to life by creating the Youth Green Corps, a nine-month annual program that recruits youth between the ages of 18 and 24, trains them in trail construction and maintenance, and provides them with a stipend. Many of the youth are homeless, disengaged or from underserved communities, and the program provides them with direction, education, life skills, a love of the outdoors, and a path to a green career.
