Basic Environmental Information

The Riverside Hiking Traill has the following Generalized Classification:

A PRISTINE environment depicts an area where nature still exists in its more-or-less pure form: clean drinking water in streams, indigenous vegetation and animal life with no trace of human constructions, activities or sounds nearby.

In a NATURAL environment one could expect to see and hear human activities to a limited extent; such as e.g. associated with farming and forestry. Exotic plants (e.g. pine plantations) might be prevalent; as well as cattle, fences and constructions such as earth dams.

To hike through a RURAL environment would imply close contact with rural development and its associated noise, crossing of public roads, hiking on forestry/ farm roads, visual contactwith agricultural fields, cement dams, domesticated animals, etc.:
