Tree Bracelets

These bands are made from upcycled cotton tshirts and salvaged mahogony deck wood. Biodegradable and flexible so they do not bind the trees.

Earth Day 2025

We did two events. In the morning, artists from Moving Forward installed the work they had been creating all winter at The Center for Cape Cod Village. In the afternoon, community members were invited to make tree bracelets to take home.
