Wanderwood Trails and Tales

08/10/2026

We're excited to announce Miles for Markers, a community challenge to help restore the story trail signs at Riverfront Park!

Recently, several of our beloved story trail signs were damaged. These signs help families discover stories, connect with nature, and create lasting memories—and now we need your help to bring them back.

Here's how it works:
🥾 Choose a mileage goal (10, 25, 50, or even 100 miles!)
🌲 Walk, bike, paddle, hike, run, or explore throughout the challenge.
💚 Ask friends and family to sponsor your miles.
📚 Every dollar raised helps repair and replace damaged story trail markers.

Whether you're walking your neighborhood, hiking your favorite trail, or exploring a local park, every mile brings us one step closer to restoring Wanderwood signs at Riverfront Park.

Together, we can prove that every mile truly tells a story.

Interested in participating? Comment below or send us a message, and we'll send you everything you need to get started!

🥺A Little Update from Wanderwood Trails and Tales🌲

We wanted to let our community know that some of the story signs along the Wanderwood Trails & Tales Story Trail @ Riverfront Park have recently been damaged.

We’re working hard to assess the damage and make repairs, but we kindly ask for your patience and understanding while we do our best to restore the walk.

As a nonprofit organization, our resources are limited, and replacing signs and materials comes with costs that we are currently working to manage. Because of this, repairs and replacements may take some time.

We’re grateful for everyone who enjoys and supports Wanderwood Trails & Tales. This project was created for our community, and we hope it continues to be a place where families can explore, read, and connect with nature.

Thank you for bearing with us — and if you’d like to help support the Story Trail, your encouragement, volunteer time, or donations can make a big difference. 💚🌲

✨🌿 Yesterday’s fairy house building play date was a wonderful success!

The sunshine finally peeked through the clouds and helped us bring our woodland dreams to life. With tiny sticks, soft moss, and lots of imagination, we created enchanting fairy houses — but even more beautifully, we created new friendships, meaningful connections, and a sense of community. 🌱💚

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful partners at The Little Lane for bringing their creativity and magic with their incredible sensory bins.
They added such a special touch to the day and helped make the experience unforgettable. ✨

We are so grateful to everyone who came out, shared their creativity, and helped make Moss, Sticks & Magic a day to remember. We can’t wait to dream up more magical gatherings and community events with you all — stay tuned for what’s coming next! 🌸🍄
