Calendar/Event Details

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.

June StoryWalk®: 

June marks the end of school and the start of summer, a time when many kids will play outside. This month's StoryWalk selection, We All Play written by Julie Flett, is a wonderful celebration of playtime and the connection between children and the natural world. Kick off your summer play with a walk along the StoryWalk trail and see how kids and animals enjoy playing.
