Description:
In May 2020, I collaborated on a restoration project with Friends of Princeton Open Space at Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve in Princeton, New Jersey. I created an "American Chestnut Leaf Sculpture" using Riverstone to simulate the characteristic leaves. The sculpture is situated alongside eight American Chestnut, Castanea dentata, saplings planted behind a deer exclosure fence. The leaf sculpture draws attention to the value and beauty of this once bountiful tree. I lead walking tours for the public to see the ecological relationships of art and conservation.
