Pine plywood, exterior house paint
In Collaboration with Amy Workman, Upham Woods Center Director, Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center

This piece is an educational display, designed to engage children with the history of the Wisconsin River and its significance in the fur trade during the mid-to-late 19th century. It is permanently installed at the Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center. 

After an overnight site visit and conversations with the outdoor educators, I was inspired to make a piece that visually engages children with the beautiful landscape and the history of the region. This project aligns with my passion for using art as a tool for environmental education and community-building–reinforcing my belief that visual storytelling can inspire meaningful connections between people and the natural world.
