Exploring Nature Through Story!
A storybook trail at Red Rose Preserve in 2020
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 Sewall Woods Preserve in Bath while reading “Let’s Go on a Hike” by Katrina Liu.

About “Let’s go on a Hike” by Katrina Liu:
Discover all the wonders of nature with this beautifully illustrated book all about a little boy on a hike with his dad, mom, and Archie, the corgi. Great for children ages 2 to 8, this delightful book is full of a child's fun curiosities, adventure, and poetry!
The outdoors is but a wonderful opportunity to explore and see Mother Nature and the environment as it is --- beautiful! Through a rhyming story and charming illustrations of an Asian-American family on a hike, this book is a great and simple way to introduce and encourage young children into the world of hiking, trail walking, and sightseeing.
