christmas trees, yarra ranges style

To celebrate the festive season Yarra Ranges Regional Museum wants to decorate the museum with 500 individually crafted Christmas trees made out of recycled and reclaimed materials. Everyone is encouraged to participate.

Getting into the festive season in another way. This flash mob group, led by Barb McFarlane, are popping up across the hills villages. Here they are flash mobbing in Belgrave last week.

If you want to facilitate a Christmas tree making program there's a handy template available here.

Once your tree is completed bring it down to the regional museum and add it to the Christmas Celebration Forest. Your tree will be on display until January 29, 2012. The first 500 participants will receive a voucher entitling you to a free native plant.
