All that Trees Provide
the value of trees and forests in our everyday lives
We are excited to share this new trailside exhibition and Forest Storywalk with you!

​Exciting News!
We have completed installation of an accessible trail spur that is home to a very special Forest StoryWalk experience, where pages from a children’s book are installed along the outdoor path. 

The trail will also soon feature rotations of Community and Student Curated Exhibitions under the theme “All that Trees Provide; the value of trees and forests in our everyday lives.” Community-curated exhibitions will rotate with StoryWalks seasonally.
Exhibit Submission Guidelines and Call for Proposals
​The community-curated trail spur will provide a unique opportunity for schools, individuals, families, researchers, and community groups to explore, and deepen their understanding of sustainable forestry, share their stories and experiences through curated exhibition while building a community of dedicated forest stewards.
Book cover of Hush Hush, Forest
Be a Tree!
Acclaimed author Maria Gianferrari and illustrator Felicita Sala compare us to the beauty and majesty of trees—and gently share the ways in which trees can inspire us to be better people.

"We are all like trees: our spines, trunks; our skin, bark; our hearts giving us strength and support, like heartwood.  And, like humans, trees are social. They “talk” to spread information; they share food and resources. They shelter and take care of one another. They are stronger together."

​
ALL THAT TREES PROVIDE
Enjoy reading and exploring under the canopy of trees.
Forestry and nature themed children’s books, poetry, art, science and activities will rotate seasonally through community-curated trailside exhibits that celebrate Wisconsin’s rich forest heritage through visual arts, science and literature.
