Echoes of the Forest is a post-Hurricane Helene project aimed at transforming downed trees of Western North Carolina's (WNC) devastated forests into an artistic and healing experience. By collaborating with local artisans, the project seeks to honor fallen trees by turning chosen tree remnants into beautiful, functional, and reflective works of art—benches, arches, sculptures, and more— eventually and strategically placed across WNC in public and private spaces.
