SUMMARY:Saproxylic Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, participants will create their own  sculptures of saproxylic organisms to take home and learn about dead wood advocacy!\n\n\nThe term “saproxylic” refers to creatures who depend on dead trees for their survival. These critters are mostly hidden from view inside logs and hollow trunks\, but they form a large and diverse multispecies assemblage that is critical to forest health. \nSaproxylic creatures are under threat worldwide because dead wood is so often removed and destroyed out of a lack of understanding about its role in the environment. This issue is especially pressing in urban areas like Philadelphia\, but fortunately we can use art to protect dead wood habitats and raise awareness about its importance. \nIn this workshop\, participants will create their own sculptures of saproxylic organisms out of woodcrete to take home with them. They will learn how they can use their sculptures to protect dead trees in Philly\, and will be given information to help them become advocates for dead wood conservation. \n \n**Please note this RSVP does not include admission to the Morris Arboretum + Gardens. PennCard holders can enter the gardens for free. For more information about admissions pricing visit: https://www.morrisarboretum.org/visit/hours-pricing
