Tales from the Trail
SUNDAY, OCT 6 @ 2:30PM - 4pm
Amphitheater on the Greenway
An accessible, guided walking tour exploring the beauty of the Southside.
Only 30 spots available, so be sure to register!
A reflective stroll along the Greenway on the Southside of Bethlehem with our community partner, DNLHC (Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor). While we stroll DNLHC will share history about the trail and share ways we can advocate for accessibility on our trails. Touchstone will take moments along the journey to guide you in a creative writing prompt leaving you with your very own poem inspired by the all that you engaged with on your walk. Finishing back near Touchstone for a chance to share the reflective writing that was done along the way and then head to the block party!

[I.D.: A small section of a leafy, vibrant walking trail. It is a bright, sunny day, and all the plants are happy and brilliantly green. On the left side we see a couple of benches sitting underneath some towering trees, with some grass and shrubbery stretching out on either side. On the right side a lone lamppost stands sentinel over a small field of grass backed by a dense wall of trees. Above all of this is a bright blue, almost cloudless sky.]
