In the article From Trash to Nature Trail, the Washington Post highlights how one former landfill was turned into a beautiful spot for hiking. “A landfill is probably the last place one would look for a pastoral midday hike, but the Blue Mash Trail near Laytonsville is just that. The 550-acre Oaks Landfill was open from 1982 to 1997, and with the exception of a sign, there is little to hint of the grassy hill’s former use. Hiking at what was once a landfill is to have a front-row seat to Mother Nature reclaiming what is hers.”
