A giant thanks to Herringtons Lumber who shares AMP’s commitment to reuse and repurpose materials. They helped us load up on donated wood, including dowels, moldings, details pieces, pine planks, and more for our two weeks of Outdoor Design & Growing programs for tweens. A great partnership to save valuable resources and give rejected materials another life 🌎.

AMP's Art House is getting that much closer to being ready for our education programs, thanks to our many friends at Arconic. Construction on the mill building continues, and with the revived space in the house, we'll be able to offer several new programs in the coming months. Stay tuned!
