What a fun event at the Cook County Forest preserve!
In addition to exploring nature you can also try your hand at bookbinding, printmaking, collage, papermaking and even book exchanges and giveaways!
Take a hike in the woods and be sure to share your favorite story about a tree!
What is your tree story?
Did you climb trees with your friends to see who could climb the highest? Build a treehouse that was your refuge? Walk through a cool dense forest in the springtime or pluck a ruby red apple off a tree? Did you ever speculate on what kind of a tree we would be? Hmmmm. Oak? Birch? Maple?
On a hot summer evening, did you run to a tree for safe base when you played tag?
What’s your tree story?
Just as the rings of a tree embody the stories of the tree, so too we carry the stories of trees. These stories inspire us to renew our sense of wonder. They connect us to one another through shared experiences as they deepen our understanding to our connection with nature.
