May-June | Trails and Tales: Frogs

03.17.21 Events

The trails at the W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary will have a new storyline for families this spring, in partnership with the Richland Community Library.

About

Starting in March, pages from a storybook will be posted along the Sanctuary’s paved path for families to read as they walk. There also will be self-guided activities that complement the story’s themes and a reading list at the Richland Community Library to learn even more and practice reading skills.

The stories and activities will be updated every two months and are open to all during normal operating hours with the cost of admission (free to members).
