Concrete Trees?

If you’ve been to any of our amazing summer classes you’ve been able to see one of our latest accomplishments in person. Our Natural History Center was recently remodeled to provide a unique classroom experience of being out in nature without concerns like mosquito swarms. One of the things at incorporated from the successes in our Local Exhibit in the main museum is the addition of concrete trees.

These incredible installation pieces were a collaborative effort between David Ibarra and the crew of Ibarra Remodeling, staff member Amber Roth, and volunteers Tammy Edwards Bloom and Pamela Boneweaver Jones. With limbs made from welded bed rails and texture carved with a lumber screw, they’re impressively realistic! We hope you’ll take a class and get a chance to see them in person!

Here’s a gallery to see some behind the scene peeks of their constriction.
