Sponsorship Opportunities for the Arboretum Story Walk

The Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation is excited to provide a unique opportunity
to sponsor needed repairs to the Arboretum’s StoryWalk®, an engaging and educational
activity designed to promote literacy and a love for reading among children and
encourage physical activity and outdoor exploration.
The StoryWalk features wooden story panels on podiums placed along a designated
path within the Arboretum. Each panel contains a page of a children’s book,
encouraging participants to read as they walk along the trail. The wooden panels are
wearing out and need to be replaced.

We invite businesses, organizations, and individuals to support this initiative through
sponsorship levels:
