Synergy

The Dawes Arboretum, Newark, Ohio has been a generous host to Treewhispers for the last several months offering a multitude of gatherings for paper making, story sharing and leisurely walks through the “forest” of handmade paper.  If you’re in the area be sure to stop in, take a stroll, and share your tree story.

Special thanks to Amanda Love, Artist-in-Residence, Treewhispers Ambassador, and conduit to the Arboretum for her extensive assistance and outreach. Deep gratitude to Luke Messinger, Dawes Arboretum Executive Director, and Leigh Ann Miller, Director of Development for their generous support and enthusiastic embrace of the project.

I never cease to be amazed by the synergy and connections that are made through trees, art, and story telling —and am eternally grateful for the plethora of volunteers, participants, and all the Treewhispers Ambassadors sharing their time, talents and creative energy.

Thank you.

Thought of you as we were making these paper mache puppets yesterday for the Art-Build group of 350 PDX. They are life-sized puppets: a forest of large old growth tree puppets for the Forest Defense Team to use when they collect signatures for the Forest Water Initiative planned for November ballot.
 
It is a fun group, composed of artists and teachers primarily, who are trying to use the visual arts to make the climate issue real to people.
 
I was making paper mache faces.

Save our Ashes!

Dear Treewhispers, May I bring to your attention this crisis underway? My neighborhood is one of 100 yr old tree-lined streets, a gorgeous and beneficial asset to the community (and planet, of course). I do not wish to presume that fundraising is the prerogative of Treewhispers, but if advocacy is within the purview of your project and celebration of trees, please consider participating and sharing this effort.

“ICYMI: The city is no longer inoculating ash trees and approx. 100 trees in our area are overdue and will die without it. The Ravenswood Manor Improvement Association is collecting donations this month so we can save our beautiful canopy throughout the neighborhood. PLEASE consider donating and saving your parkway ash tree or others on your block. ”

Kindest regards, Linda   Save Our Ashes
