The "WHY" is so important. 💚
​I’ll be the first to admit I’m better with a chainsaw than I am with video editing, but my heart needs to tell this story every way possible.
​This is a 10-minute journey of our progress so far. It’s a look at how we’re turning the scars of the flood into a legacy for the river we all love. It’s not perfect, but it’s real—and it’s happening.
​Thank you for walking this path with me. From the roots we rise.

🌳 FROM WITNESS TREES TO A TRAIL OF HOPE
​The massive cypress & pecan trees lost in the flood have held the history of this area for centuries. Their story should not end up a debris pile of milled up for lumber—they should be transformed into a legacy of resilience.
​The first five monumental sculptures serve as a proof of concept—demonstrating how art can:
Link communities along the River Road corridor
Create destinations that support local economies and
preserve the history held within the flood trees.
​To bring this professional infrastructure and our elite carving team to the river, we need your investment.
