Decorating EDF's signature birdhouses
Did you know that there are 123 wooden birdhouses and birdhouse-themed pieces of art in EDF's office? The birdhouse theme was inspired by our office renovation in 2011, when the architectural drawings resembled a birdhouse. With the theme "A Place of Our Own," our birdhouse motif reminds us that community is where people in recovery can find safety, refuge, and a sense of belonging. Join us to create some new art of our own as we decorate a few new birdhouses for the office!
