We partnered with ACCPF and Napa County Regional Park & Open Space District to host a Story Walk at the Wetlands from July 30 - August 25, which features the book, I Know the River Loves Me, authored by Maya Christina Gonzalez in both English and Spanish. This is an innovative and delightful way for American Canyon families to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time.
