Exercise your mind and body at the Pleasant Hills Story Hike!! Presented by the Pleasant Hills Public Library, the A. W. Robertson Arboretum, Jefferson Regional Foundation, and Remake Learning Days, the Pleasant Hills Story Hike features a picture book that you can read while walking along the meadow trail. Each frame contains a page from the book, and sometimes also fun trivia or activity suggestions. Once you have completed the trail, you will also have finished the book!
In an effort to promote early literacy learning and family engagement, titles are selected for families with young children in mind. However, all ages can experience the wonder of nature while enjoying our Story Hike. Titles will change seasonally so make sure to visit again and again!
