Tree Health Collagraphs and Actions

Presenters

  • Beverly Harding Buehler
  • Shameka Gagnier

Description

Following a mindfulness grounding in place during which participants engage their senses, prior knowledge, and imaginations to visualize healthy trees and the web of life they sustain, participants learn about the indicators of healthy trees and forests and some of the negative impacts of deforestation, loss of old growth habitat, and climate change. Next, participants go outside to observe and record indicators of tree health in their local community. Participants use both scientific and arts-based ways to gather evidence and record their observations. Back in the classroom, participants create a collagraph print based on their observations and reflections. Finally, participants work in small groups to plan a public message, action steps, or eco-justice event to raise awareness about tree health and the ways that people can better support trees in climate change.
