Mighty oaks from little acorns grow! Bring your little ones to Luckey’s Landing at Merry Lea and we will read Because an Acorn by Schaefer. Then go looking for other kinds of seeds and how they are connected to the animals and plants in the forest around High Lake.

Come prepared to be outside for the whole program time. A hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and water bottle are recommended. Long pants to protect your legs from scratchy grasses and thorns will be helpful as well.

What is Tales & Trails?

Children and their caregiver(s) gather for a short story that incites curiosity before exploring different locations around Merry Lea's property. Expect to hear a tale & hike a trail while discovering the natural wonders around you together. This is a 1.5 hour monthly program designed for children ages 3-5, with younger siblings welcome to join, led by a Merry Lea educator.
