Two forest stewards bring to life the world of Northern Michigan’s woodland 250 years before -- at the time of the nation’s founding -- and after. Woodland Home: A History Of A Place takes place at the Glen Arbor Arts Center on August 1, 11 am, with Dave Fenlon, Interpretive Park Ranger with Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore; and Mae Wright, Tribal Historic Preservation Officers with the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians. The program is free, and is offered as part of the GAAC’s American Tree exhibit.
The woods and forests of Leelanau County were here before Leelanau County was officially declared a place on the map. They are as iconic as Art’s Bar and the Sleeping Bear Dunes Dune Climb. But like so many familiar things, it’s easy to forget their histories. Fenlon and Wright will explore the woods’ history -- who called them home, what was the life of the forest like before European contact -- and speculate what lies ahead in the next 250 years for these woodlands.
American Tree features the work of 28 visual artists. The exhibit examines the role trees played in the formation of the United States, and the role trees will play moving forward into this nation’s next 250 years. It is on view June 5 - August 13 in the GAAC’s Main Gallery. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org / EXHIBITS.
