LinkLinks DCist: Lack Of Hiking Trails In Ward 8 Is An Environmental Injustice, Local Group Says By Editor On Mar 21, 2023 Last updated Mar 21, 2023 16 Share D.C.’s Ward 8 is blessed with some 500 acres of forested parkland, but there are not many ways to access those parks, with just a few miles of trails. Take, for example, Shepherd Parkway — a long strip of forest along the bluffs of Congress Heights, above where the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers meet. The forest is bordered by some two dozen blocks of row houses, apartment buildings, and an elementary school. But there is no way for residents to get into the woods. Not one trailhead. Not one tenth-mile of trail. 16 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
