PVAS Host: Susannah Olsen
Free and open to the public. All ages are welcome, though youth must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is not required
A StoryWalk® is a great way for people of all ages to enjoy reading while spending time outdoors! Pages from a storybook will be attached to signs placed along a trail so people can gradually read the story as they walk the trail. This StoryWalk® will be spread over a trail length of no more than 1/4 mile.
The story at Cool Spring Preserve is Fireflies, Fireflies, Light My Way, written by Jonathan London and illustrated by Linda Messier.
