Art & Trees…online?

Yes! I wouldn’t have thought so either, but staying inside to talk about going outside is a fine place to begin exploring trees. This customizable class is all about connecting with nature no matter who or where you are, and building up habits to keep feeding the connection. Through a series of talks and drawing sessions, experiment with how art and science aren’t at opposite ends of a spectrum and how to make your own community sourced field guide to local trees.
