Exploring Nature Through Story!
This spring and summer, KELT is excited to offer storybook trails across the region!
With the help of passionate volunteers, KELT has designed storyboards that will serve as temporary exhibits at a number of our preserves this spring and summer. Come to one or come to all for nature themed stories and outdoor activities for children 6 years old and younger. With a chaperoning adult, young children will be able to walk a trail, explore a preserve, or visit LOCAL garden while reading a beloved children’s nature book one page at a time.
Come explore the wonders of the LOCAL Garden in south Bath while reading “Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt” by Kate Messner.
