Join Angie and Franconia staff for a walk along Franconia's 43 acres of trails, to learn about the sculptures in the park and the growing movement to restore native landscapes. Angie has been a WCD nature educator since 2006 and is author of Exploring the St. Croix River Valley: Adventures on and off the Water. 

1-2PM: Walk & talk w/ Angie Hong & Franconia staff 

2-3PM: Author talk & book signing behind Commons building (indoors if inclement weather)

The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. In the surrounding 8000 sq mile watershed, you can find small towns vibrant with local art, music, dining, and festivals. Board a kayak or canoe, however, and you could easily spend an entire day on the water without seeing another soul. 

Stick around after the hike for an author talk and book signing behind the Franconia Commons building. Books will be available for purchase in the Franconia gift shop.
