Enjoy a stroll through some of Wellesley’s beautiful green spaces during August Story Walks, organized by the Wellesley Natural Resources Commission (NRC). Children and their adult(s) can explore nature while reading a story about the local wildlife that can be found in Perrin Park; the Town Hall Duck Pond Trail; and Cronk’s Rocky Woodland Sanctuary.
The Story Walk is a hands-free, COVID-friendly experience. Look for the pages of a picture book, laminated and placed along the trail in stands. Visitors then read the story as they walk along the trail. The walks are done independently, and the materials are up on the trail 8am -3pm on each Story Walk date.
