Trails provide educational opportunities for people of all ages. They give firsthand experiences that let users learn about the importance of the natural environment and participation in preservation activities through unique or common flora or fauna that thrive in the area. Trails let users explore their local environments such as rivers, forests, or vegetation, and discover their history, changing uses, and cultural artifacts.
