Step into the enchanting world of the forest with our immersive storytime adventure! Each month, we’ll gather in the woods, where a PVAS environmental educator will guide us through a captivating tale that brings the wonders of nature to life. This will be followed by an engaging nature activity that will deepen our connection to the themes presented in the stories. As the seasons change, so will our stories, unveiling the mysteries of the world around us. Come along for an unforgettable experience filled with discovery, imagination, and the thrill of exploring the great outdoors. Let’s learn, explore, and let our curiosity soar together!
After the program, you’re invited to explore the preserve’s trails on your own self-guided hike or join one of our program instructors for a group hike. Our guided hike will highlight the unique sights and seasonal happenings in the preserve at that time of year.
To enhance your experience, we offer an optional take-along activity to enjoy during your hike. Activities will vary each month and may include items like binoculars to borrow, a scavenger hunt, and more.
If you would like to join the group hike, our program instructors will announce that they’ll be leading a hike for anyone who wants to join. All you have to say is “I’m coming!” and you are all set!
