History of Nature Trail
The Nature Trail was the brainchild of architect Paul Gaudreau (1914-1995), who with his wife Margaret, moved into Brookside in 1993. Soon thereafter he posed his idea for a Nature Trail, which would follow our stream (Herbert Run) through the woods on campus. John Erickson liked the idea, and wheels were set in motion. The Trail was built and informally used in 1994-5, but officially dedicated in 1996. Mr. Gaudreau was the first Chairperson of the new Nature Trail Committee.
