Andrea Rowley - Reflection on the Noland Trail

As I have mentioned before, I am on my third year here at CNU, all the while being less than a mile away from the Noland Trail. I have walked part of it before, but it was not until taking this class that I ever really began to see what was around me. Not only did it open my eyes to a deeper look at nature and truly connecting with it, but it also gave me a chance to connect with who I was when I was much younger. I lived for the outdoors as a kid, and being outdoors in nature for a class really put into perspective how much our generation takes it for granted.

Quite honestly, having the Noland Trail so close to campus is a blessing in disguise. It is comforting to know there is a quiet place in the heart of a busy city that can give someone a quick and safe seclusion to reconnect with themselves if need be.
