Arbor Aid 2009
October 30, 2009
Time: 7 to 11 pm
Location: Guardian Storage Solutions at 2839 Liberty Avenue
Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest (FPUF) presents Arbor Aid 2009
Join FPUF for their annual fundraiser featuring artwork created by local artists incorporating salvaged wood and light, music, local food and libations, a silent auction and more! Arbor Aid celebrates the possibilities presented to us by trees as resources within our city. Rather than chip or log urban trees that need to be removed, FPUF encourages giving them a longer life by repurposing them as art, furniture, flooring and everything in between.
Music by -- Life in Balance and The Turpintiners
