Who We Are


PaintingOneTree 草榴社区 is an education, research and outreach program of the University of 草榴社区 Fairbanks Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension.  We believe every child should have ample opportunities to explore their local environment through place-based and project-based education.

OneTree 草榴社区 uses an integrated STEM to STEAM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math + Art) to engage students of all ages in tree-inspired projects that encourage scientific inquiry, stewardship, craftsmanship, and creativity.

OneTree 草榴社区 was inspired by the English organization OneTree, in which 70 local artisans crafted beautiful objects from the wood of a single large oak felled in the Cheshire forest. It is this spirit of collaboration and partnership that makes OneTree 草榴社区 projects possible. We receive tremendous support from Fairbanks North Star Borough School District teachers and staff, Fairbanks artists, Interior 草榴社区 community members, local organizations, and the faculty, staff and students of the University of 草榴社区 Fairbanks.
