In this workshop we will be teaching about the importance of sustainability and waste-reduction by creating fun and useful tote-bags out of up-cycled used T-shirts. No sewing or special tools required! Once the bags are made, participants will have the chance to decorate and customize them with block print stamps. Participants should bring a used T-shirt they’d like to convert into a tote bag (some extra shirts will be available as well).

Presenter Bio: Lynsi Wavra is a Cashiers, NC native and daughter of Christmas tree farmers. She is driven by a strong affinity for the natural world for its healing and restorative qualities as well as the awe-inspiring interconnectedness of whole ecosystems. This deep fascination led to her studies

The Village Green and Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust co-host a series of lectures each summer. Visitors and residents learn about wildlife, habitats, conservation, and local cultural heritage from expert speakers in their fields! See the full program schedule here.

All of the Nature Series Programs, adult and youth, are FREE, family-friendly, held RAIN OR SHINE, and no reservations are required.
