Launching this Fall!
The Parks Foundation of Highland Park invites families to
take a hike while enjoying a book about the wonders of
nature. Constance’s Story Trail, is an interactive walk featuring
a children’s nature-themed book with pages displayed at
intervals along the trail.
Constance’s Story Trail is made possible through a generous
grant to the Parks Foundation by former Highland Park resident
Marc Mar-Yohana as a touching tribute to his late daughter and
to celebrate her love of nature and reading. Constance and her
father had shared many joyous hours wandering among books
posted on Heller’s scenic trails before the display was severely
damaged and removed last spring.
Featured stories will include some of Constance’s favorites
and books selected by the Highland Park Public Library staff.
Organizers also hope to offer a chance for local youth to display
their writing.
