The alt has partnered with thecity of attleboro and mass audubon to encourage the public to visit these conservation areas and to take advantage of the benefits of being outdoors, getting some exercise, and experiencing nature with new hike attleboro signs directing residents and vistors to nature preserves and walking trails. The alt regularly hosts guided hikes of naturepreserves as part of this intiative.
