The Wilton Land Trust, Wilton Library, and Wilton Go Green have come together to offer a unique and immersive book-reading experience. Together, we've created an opportunity for families to venture outside, explore nature, listen to stories, and make an upcycled craft. As partners, we're elevating young minds within beautiful landscapes.

The Wilton Land Trust is a community-focused nonprofit organization that conserves land, protects biodiversity, enhances ecosystems, and builds community.

The Wilton Library is the cultural and intellectual center of Wilton: informing, enriching, connecting, and inspiring the Wilton community.

Wilton Go Green is committed to engaging, educating, and inspiring Wilton residents to embrace a lifestyle of environmental sustainability.

At the event:

A member of the Wilton Children's Library staff will read hand-curated books and sing interactive songs. Tammy Thornton, President of Wilton Go Green, will guide us through an upcycled craft.​​ David McCarthy of Wilton Land Trust will lead a game of monster-mash freeze-dance. The morning will end with a trick-or-treat walk through the meadow where staff from all three orgs. will pass out candy. 

Please remember to bring your blanket, snack, or something to drink, and join us for some fresh air as we celebrate community, nature, and a good book.
