Nature in HD

There is a place we can go where the colors are infinite, the pixels are innumerable and reality doesn’t need to be virtual. It’s called Nature.

Great Rivers Greenway is helping people to unplug and unwind by giving them a place in nature that is close to home. It’s an area to run, ride, relax and escape the everyday stresses of life.

The importance of time spent in nature is well-documented. When children come face-to-face with nature, they connect with their world. They exercise their natural sense of discovery and reverse rising trends in sedentary behavior. Studies have shown that time spent in nature reduces anxiety and improves the ability of the body and mind to heal.

Greenways foster year-round encounters with nature. The Busch Greenway in St. Charles County offers splendid four-season scenery. The Rock Hollow Trail Wildwood along the Meramec Greenway allows visitors to enjoy the gorgeous views and diverse ecosystems brought about by a dramatic change in elevation. The North Riverfront Trail in the City of St. Louis provides residents with more than 10 miles of unobstructed Mississippi River breezes throughout the summer. As people discover these charming getaways so close to home, they are connecting themselves to the environment that surrounds them.
