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

A refund or transfer for one-day programs must be requested
at least four days in advance. No refunds or transfers are issued

Wonderfall follows a single
tree through the changing of
the seasons. People, animals,
and vehicles pass in front of
the tree, celebrating holidays,
playing in its leaves, and
getting ready for winter!

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.
