Press Release | Share Your Spree Story!

Spree For All, the award-winning hiking series that promotes fitness and fun for everyone, celebrates five years on the trails this spring, May 1 through June 30.

Available are 12 universally accessible trails in the Metro Parks, three in Cuyahoga Valley National Park and two at Summa Health System locations. Trails have been tested by clients of Akron’s United Disability Services and approved for wheelchairs, walkers, canes, strollers and users on foot.

To receive hiking rewards, individuals must complete five hikes – on five different trails, the same trail or any combination of trails – and submit a completed hiking form. First-year hikers earn a neck lanyard and commemorative pin; veteran hikers earn the commemorative pin. Hikes are FREE for all participants; non-Summit County residents pay to receive their rewards ($10 for first-year hikers, $5 for veteran hikers).

For information, call 330-865-8065 or 1-800-23-SUMMA.

Watching Water Quality
Non-point sources of pollution (like soil erosion and impervious surfaces) are now a greater threat to water quality than industry.

Wormy Wood
American chestnut used to be one of the dominate species in our forests. In the early 1900s, a fungus nearly wiped out the species. Today, much of its lumber - called wormy chestnut - is harvested from those dying trees.
