What is better than a walk in the woods?
Perhaps having a book to
read along the way!
Enjoy a book and a calm
Spring stroll along a
Heller trail. The Park District of Highland Park and
the Highland Park Library have teamed up to bring

Weather Policy When Spring Comes
All programs are conducted rain or shine. In the event of
extreme or dangerous weather, the program will be cancelled
and participants will be refunded in full.
Please dress for the weather. Spring seems very far away.
But, if you wait, soon you will
see, smell and hear all the magic
spring has to offer.
