The Conservation Fund visited a host of sites across the Eastern seaboard, where they hiked, paddled and explored using the Street View Trekker. The Google mapping tool allows anyone with a screen and Internet connection to take the journey virtually. 

“Conservation means including people, not excluding them. Google Trekker enables people everywhere to experience the beauty and significance of the places we protect — even if they aren't able to travel there,” said The Conservation Fund’s president and CEO, Larry Selzer. “As we become more of an urban nation, and as the demographics of our country continue to change, reconnecting people — especially young people — with nature will be less about bringing kids to nature, and more about bringing nature to the kids.”
