Filled with beautiful photos the book will explain how this trail became a valuable outdoor classroom during covid, a STEM teaching centre, a respite for people young and old, and a place for community engagement.Books for a Better Earth are designed to inspire children to become active, knowledgeable participants in caring for the planet they live on.
