MIYAWAKI FOREST FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY – Dedication of the Welcome Rock
Sunday, December 8th, 3:30 – 5:15 PM
A year ago, 300 community members of all ages helped plant the Miyawaki Urban Forest. Now, we’re excited to celebrate its growth with a special event! We’ll be unveiling the Welcome Stone, a 6′ x 3′ glacial rock designed by artist Roger Fernandes, featuring carvings inspired by the teachings of local Coast Salish Tribes.
Join us as Fernandes shares the stories and inspiration behind his work. The event will also include hands-on activities, refreshments, and guided tours of both the Forest and Museum. This is an outdoor celebration.
