TAKE A LOOK AROUND

Explore Nature

The Hills to Sea footpath is a window into the nature and wildness right outside your door.

Slow down and experience our place in nature.  Along the trail, you can observe wildlife, forests and meadows, birds, streams, historic landscapes and geologic features. You may wish to reflect and observe quietly, or perhaps note the interactions and life that make up the ecosystems along the trail.

We invite you to share your experience with us.
