SUMMARY:Enjoy a Park Rx Hike at Browning Woods Trail
DESCRIPTION:Location: South Kingstown\nSouth Kingstown Land Trust invites you to a monthly healthy hike at Browning Woods. There’s increasing evidence that spending time outdoors in nature and walking are both good for your physical and mental health. That’s why more health care providers are ‘prescribing’ taking a walk in nature as part of their patients’ health care treatment plans. We call it ParkRx. You don’t have to wait for your doctor to write a prescription. Join us for a ParkRx walk on the 1st Saturday of every month. This free guided walk begins at 10:00 am promptly at the trailhead sign. This walk will be canceled for inclement weather. Children must be accompanied by an adult. \nQuestions? Contact the Trust at 401-789-0962. To learn more about the Trust and other upcoming events visit: SKLT website (http://sklt.org). \nDirections: South Kingstown Land Trust’s Browning Woods Trail is located on Shannock Road opposite the intersection of Moraine Ct. Parking can be tight\, so carpooling is highly recommended! For more park details and a trail map visit: Explore RI Browning Woods (http://exploreri.org/gSiteReport2.php?siteID=13&src=siteList) \n  \nParking can be tight\, so carpooling is highly recommended!
