RAIN OR SHINE - TODAY'S THE DAY!

Meet us on Montrose Blvd between Dallas and W. Clay for this Valentine's themed event, inviting participants to unite in a creative and peaceful demonstration against the proposed tree removal. 

In a nod to Montrose's legacy as the birthplace of "yarn bombing" or "yarn graffiti," hand-made knit cozies will be used to adorn some of the endangered trees. The Montrose-born tradition of knit graffiti dates back to 2005 when the group Knitta Please pioneered the practice of using knitted cozies to embellish public spaces, including trees, lamp posts, benches, and signs. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitta_Please

Participating individuals are encouraged to bring painted rocks to contribute to a collective display of love and support for the threatened trees. The rocks will be placed around the trees, featuring encouraging messages and expressions of solidarity. We will also hold up signs for passing motorists to “Honk for the Trees”.  Bring a sign and join the fun!
