The East Coast Greenway isn’t just about getting from point A to point B — it’s about the journey, the people you meet along the way and the deep connections formed through access to nature and safe, welcoming public spaces.
In this short video, we dive into the transformative power of trails and greenways, exploring how they connect communities and uplift mental health. For many, especially during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearby trails became more than just paths — they were vital spaces for reflection, exercise and unexpected social connections.
Devin Cowens, a dedicated member of our East Coast Greenway Advisory Board, shares her personal story of how outdoor access impacts her well-being. She reminds us how powerful green spaces can be in our everyday lives.
Watch the video to see how trails can be a game-changer for mental health, community connection, and overall quality of life.
