Visitors who stop in to the parks will receive the “Read to Lead at Wisconsin State Parks” program, which is a book paired with that park to help them learn more about nature and the environment.
The program challenges children between the ages of five and nine to read nature books from a DNR-compiled list. Any child who finishes 20 or more books from the list can enter a drawing to win a Kindle Fire and other prices.
