We love sharing stories that bring a smile to your face! ?? In Millburn, New Jersey, a mother named Therese Ojibway created a whimsical fairy forest along the Rahway Trail in the South Mountain Reservation for her son with autism. She wanted him to have a safe space to explore nature, so she started building small fairy cottages made from natural elements and hidden in tree trunks and branches. The South Mountain Conservancy noticed the handmade fairy cottages appearing in the forest and allowed Therese Ojibway to continue creating her magical cottages as long as the fairy houses were confined to a half-mile section at the beginning of the Rahway River Trail. This magical place, known as the Fairy Trail, has become a beloved spot for families and children. Though Therese and her son have since moved away, volunteers continue to maintain and add to the trail. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e9w_ef_S
