Kelsey Gross's book, Fall: A Seasons Story StoryWalk is up for the community to enjoy!

It is currently located adjacent to the nature center, goes along the edge of the woods, behind the Senior Pavilion and then loops to the left and back to the nature center again.

With last week's high winds we needed a location that was more sheltered and allowed us to support the signs better.

Hopefully this weekend we'll see the sun and it will be a nice Fall weather weekend. Enjoy! And drop us a message if you enjoyed the walk.

P.S. If you have any book recommendations for next summer, please let us know.

Great weekend for programs at MooseWood this past weekend. Here are a few pics from the book reading by Kelsey Gross and the Storywalk.

Due to the high winds in the last few days, the StoryWalk was set up adjacent to the building, following along the edge of the woods, behind the Senior pavilion and then turning left looping back to the MooseWood building.

The Storywalk is for all to enjoy!
