Lake Laurentian Conservation Area story trail is pretty sweet — and it's about bees

It's an outdoor adventure with a tale to tell.

A new story trail at the Lake Laurentian Conservation Area does just what its name implies — and it will soon feature a brand new tale.

CBC Sudbury Morning North radio show host Markus Schwabe was at the trail just as they were putting up new pages. He interviewed Daniela Stuewer of Conservation Sudbury and Jessica Watts from the Sudbury Public Library about the new story.

It's an outdoor adventure with a tail to tell. The story trail at the Lake Laurentian Conservation Area does just what it's name implies and it will soon feature a brand new story. Markus Schwabe was at the trail just as they were putting up new pages.

The newest story trail launch is part of a national literacy campaign called Reading Town

Reading Town happens the first week of May each year — and one community is chosen to be an official "Reading Town." This year, Canada's Reading Town is Sudbury. In previous years it was Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and Charlottetown, PEI.

Morning North has been running a Reading Town contest all week. With the help of Sudbury Poets, Morning North listeners will build a poem, line by line.

Take a listen to what has been crafted so far on Monday and Tuesday:
