Working with environmental artist Sharon Kallis, community members will come together and learn weaving skills while creating unique bird nests and perches out of dogwood, hardhack, blackberry and flag iris. Participants’ awareness of the local ecosystem will be increased as they enhance bird habitat and take an active environmental stewardship role in their local park.
