Coventry committee and library to launch Summer Trails Passport and family reading program
Summary
The committee approved a family-focused Summer Trails Passport in coordination with BDL that will include five town trails, book-related programming and passport stamps at trailheads; Nan and Matthew Kyer will coordinate promotion with the library.
The Town of Coventry Protected Spaces Stewardship Committee voted to move forward with a Summer Trails Passport and reading program aimed at families, pairing trail exploration with related reading. Committee member Nan Kyer and Matthew Kyer will coordinate the program with BDL. The passport will cover five town trails, include books related to trails, nature and wildlife, and provide passport stamping at trailheads.
The committee asked Nan and Matthew Kyer to work with BDL to advertise and promote the program. No budget line-item or exact start date beyond the scheduled spring/summer trails events was recorded in the minutes.
Committee members also reviewed the public trail events calendar: an invasive species walk at Creaser Park on May 9 led by Jeff Cappadora, a Laidlaw Walk on May 23, and a Willimantic River paddle on June 13.
The program is described in the minutes as family‑oriented and intended to engage stewards and residents in visiting and learning about town trails.
