Eco Art is KTMB’s newest program that takes everyday trash and makes it into something new! Lids become bugs, straws become beads, and bottle caps become magnets. Eco Art is designed to give kids a hands on experience to see something that would otherwise be trash, become something new. It instills and emphasizes the three Rs – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

Eco Art kits are available for teachers following the Waste Warrior presentations.

Paper Making is a fun, hands on way of seeing how easy it is to recycle something old into something new. Using torn up Phone Book pages or shredded office paper, Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful Staff and/or Volunteers can show your group or classroom how to recycle old paper into new paper. Provided for free through a generous donation from Wells Fargo, this is a fun activity for Earth Day and every day!

KTMB offers staffed paper making workshops for groups of 70 or more. For smaller groups we offer the equipment and program guide to staff your own workshop.

For more information about paper making or to schedule a presentation for your group or classroom, contact Morgan at morgan@ktmb.org or call 775.851.5185.

Paper Making is a fun and educational "Hands On" project
