Let’s Go For A Walk
The Laws of Nature Interpretive Trail was dedicated to Bob Mann & Judith Christy as a departing gift in appreciation for their dedicated service as co-directors.
This beautiful trail was designed to meander through the Shadowcliff property and to provide different vistas and points of view relating to 10 Laws of Nature. The path includes gentle slopes, with easy footing. There are five reflection stations like the one shown below, each focused on two of the ten Laws. Also at each of the five stations there is a lovely sitting bench inviting you to pause and consider the meaning of each of the laws and how it affects your own surroundings.
