Email-a-tree is a program by Elisabeth Robson and Olaf Ribeiro, in conjunction with the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District.
Along with Olaf’s presentation about trees (April 23), you will be able to email special trees around the island during April. Each tree has been assigned an email address and will be receiving emails all month long. You might even get a reply!
To see which trees will be receiving emails and where they are located, check out the Email-a-tree page.
To get the email address of a tree, you must visit the tree in person. Please don’t forget to say hello to the tree while you are there.
We will be gathering emails sent to the trees and featuring them on the web site during and after April. If you would like to organize a walking tour of the trees, please contact Olaf Ribeiro.
Kathryn Keve will present her book, Under the Sun, a book about how beautiful and precious the Earth is and ends with the question: what can we do to stop the plunder?
The book will be available at Eagle Harbor Books from April 22-25. Kathryn will be at Eagle Harbor Books from 5-7 pm on Friday April 22.

Janet Norman Knox’s performance prose poem, Artifact Pattern, examines the Alaskan Way Viaduct as a way to observe humanity’s take on climate change. In collaboration with musician Tom McDonald, Knox uses the humor and heaviness of a viaduct and climate in flux to weigh in on what both tell us about ourselves. Built on giant carbon feet, the viaduct’s very cement is a massive carbon sink. The viaduct is our Roman aqueduct, sending carbon like water to quench the empire’s power thirst. The viaduct is lodged in geologic history like a receding glacier. It occupies the same footprint as the fingers of glaciers that retreated, dropping their erratics, sands, and gravels. There are many facts to connect and our very human brains want to recognize the patterns in poetry, in music, in the quandaries of a society speeding headlong into an uncertainty where we may find ourselves.
