Reading Ranger: Headstrong Hallie! and Smokey Story
June 22, 2026
10:00 am - 11:00 am
Today’s topic will be on fire towers and fire prevention.
The book will be Headstrong Hallie and Smokey Story.
The activity will be a hike to the fire tower.
This stunningly illustrated picture-book biography tells the story of Hallie Morse Daggett, the first woman “fire guard” hired by the US Forest Service, whose hard work and dedication led the way for other women to join the Forest Service.
Each week, children will be read a book and then complete an activity. All participants must have a parent or guardian with them during the program. Our program includes read-aloud stories focusing on environmentalism and conservation, read by a Forest Service Ranger and volunteers.
We are proud to promote the Forest 250 initiative to inspire our younger guests to become good stewards of the land.
