SUMMARY:Self-Guided Storybook Trail:  The Last Tree
DESCRIPTION:Discover the wonders of nature on our enchanting Self-Guided Storybook Trail\, an experience that invites you to embark on a leisurely stroll through the captivating woodland scenery while you follow along with a book whose pages are posted along the way! Read/walk at your own pace\, immersing yourself in the tranquil sights and soothing sounds of the natural world…and when you get to the end of the story/trail\, take advantage of Wood Lake’s special nature play area. \nToday’s book is The Last Tree by Maria Quintana Silva and Silvia Alvarez. One night\, the trees in the forest decided it’s time to uproot and leave. They yanked out their roots and dragged themselves off across the fields. On his way to school\, Goran soon realized what is happening… All the trees had disappeared and holes could be seen where they used to be. Bewildered\, he rushed home to find if the tree in his garden had vanished as well. He loved that tree\, it used to be his friend during springtime when he swung from his branches\, and also in summer when its leaves protected him from the hot sun. Understanding the consequences this would have for animals\, humans\, and the environment\, he set off to counteract the damage that had already been done. \nThe book is posted along the trail from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.\, and will be posted in both English and Spanish.
