Diversity is healthy because it means a wide variety of species exist. More variety means a more dynamic life system. Nature needs diversity. A good diversity of animal life is found along the trail. Look for wildlife and note what types of animals are found in riparian, prairie and forest habitats. You might want to think about change and diversity from your own experience. Is it possible that people visit national parks out of a need for diversity and change?
