(Jefferson County Parks Dept. News Release) The Jefferson County Parks Department was awarded a grant from the Greater Watertown Area Health Foundation to install a Born Learning Trail.
The Born Learning Trail is a series of 10 interactive signs that offer fun, active learning activities for young children and their families. It helps parents, caregivers and communities create quality engagement opportunities.
The signs will be installed in both English and Spanish translations along the Glacial River Bike Trail in Jefferson. For nearby parking see the map below. (“Parking here” is in rather faint print.) The sign install will be just north of and very near the parking lot.
The project will be installed by local volunteers on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 @ 4:00 p.m. (weather permitting). The trail kits included hardware, and reinforced, full color metal signs as well as a series of stencils which will be used to create the fun interactive part of the project. We would also like to thank the following local businesses for donating project supplies:
- Goyer Ace Hardware:
- Paint (for asphalt surface)
- Paint foam rollers & paint trays
- Lemke Fence:
- 10 – 4×4 pre-treated posts
Anyone interested in helping to install the trail is encouraged to contact Mary Truman at 920-674-7260 or jeffcoparks@jeffersoncountywi.gov
