StoryWalk at Lake Wilderness Arboretum

The Lake Wilderness Arboretum and Maple Valley Library have partnered together to bring a StoryWalk® to Maple Valley. StoryWalk® is an innovative approach to encouraging people of all ages to get out and walk while enjoying wonderful children’s books. With her wealth of experience, Sharon Chastain, the children’s librarian at the Maple Valley Library, selects the best children’s books for this story walk project. Then the pages are installed in frames along the Arboretum’s Main Looping Trail so as you walk, you can read the book one page at a time, all while enjoying being outside. Our hope is that this feature will provide children a new way to see, learn and experience the amazing world that we live in.

April StoryWalk®: 

As we leave winter behind and begin to warm up, the joy of being outdoors returns. So get outside for a good walk and story at the Arboretum's StoryWalk trail. This month's StoryWalk® selection, Run Wild  by David Covell, follows two children that enjoy exploring and experiencing how great life can be outside. Sometimes we all need a reminder that life is better beyond our doors and without our screens.
