Our tree is now up and on display at the Berkshire Museum. It is on the second floor to the right of the stairs as you go up the stairs. It is in the group in the center of the second room. The title of our tree is "Hike Safe" on the AT for yourself and the environment.
The children created over 150 ornaments that show the principles of hiking safe including mini water bottles and compasses. The Appalachian trail winds around the tree from Springer Mt at the bottom to Mt. Khatahdin at the top. Also on the tree is one copy of each post card that the children created. They are all invasive species that can be found along the AT in the North east. The focus was to teach not to track seeds while you hike.
The post cards will be going through a second printing and will eventually be displayed on the kiosk we will be building to place at an AT entrance point and the remaining cards will be spread throughout our community. They will also be on display in our school.
The Festival of Trees will be up until Jan. 2nd. Please take the time to take your family up to Pittsfield to see the show. There are wonderfully creative trees to see as well as the normal museum exhibits. Look for a notice next week to come home including a free pass for your child and a hint of how to get a museum pass for your whole family by using your library card.
Thank you for all of your support on this incredible project...
