Family Art Project: Tree Ring Self-Portraits (On-site) 

Saturday May 1, 10AM-12PM
Trees are storytellers! This Arbor Day, look to the stories trees tell in their rings. As a tree grows, it produces a new ring of visible growth each year, not only telling you the tree’s own life story, but also the stories of the forest around the tree. Count the years of your own life to create a tree-ring self-portrait that speaks to your growth and the growth of the community around you.
