Library unveils nature trail to walk, learn

A ribbon cutting was held last week at the Washington County Library’s Chipley branch for the newly installed United Way Born Learning Trail.

The trail is the product of a partnership between the Washington County Health Department and the Washington County Public Library.

“We are passionate about kids learning,†Library Director Renae Rountree said. “And because of that we are excited to partner with DOH to bring the first, but hopefully not last, Learning Trail to Washington County.â€

The trail is made up of a series of 10 signs in both English and Spanish for parents and caregivers to use as a tool to help better engage their children in learning. Each stop on the trail has a different task for the children to do such as think, identify, learn or use their imagination. The sidewalk is home to stencils that correspond with each sign.

To experience the Born Learning Trail, visit the Chipley Library at 1444 Jackson Avenue. For more information, call 850-638-1314.
