Tree Carving

My final Demerit Badge is Tree Carving. After coming across several vandalized trees in Rocky National Park, it seemed fitting to make a patch of a tree split down the middle by a broken heart. The P stands for people and the E earth to show how people have broken their relationship with the earth.

This photo was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park on a hike to Gem Lake.
