Sensory Trail to be developed with
assistance from Local Kiwanis Clubs and
their sponsored youth clubs.
Plans
are underway to begin development of a
Sensory Trail in the southeastern corner of
our property. The Sensory Trail will occupy
approximately 2 acres and will be designed
to impact all five senses – touch, smell,
sight, hearing, and taste. Trail elements
will include a bubbling water feature, a
wooden bridge, fruit and shade trees and
different textures for the horses to walk
over such as pea gravel, sand, fall leaves,
etc. The sense of touch will be stimulated
by the feel of different flowers and plants
along the trail. The sense of smell will be
stimulated by the smell of flowers, plants
and trees that can be reached along the
trail. Taste buds may be stimulated by
picking an apple or ear of corn along the
trail. Both horse and cart paths will be
included in the Sensory Trail.
Local
Kiwanis Clubs from Kings and Tulare Counties
have agreed to assist Happy Trails with the
development and building of the Sensory
Trail. The development of the project will
consist of numerous stages including
grading, irrigation and underground,
pathways, planting, gates and fencing, water
features, bridge, and electrical among
others. The Kiwanis clubs will provide some
funding and lots of manpower and donated
material. Anyone interested in assisting
with the project is encouraged to contact
Leslie Gardner at 688-8685 or Andre Gaston
