Tree of Transformation: Leave Your Mark, Support Sustainability
The Tree of Transformation at the Innovation Barn is more than just a sculpture—it’s a way to support sustainability and be part of Charlotte’s circular future. This unique installation, built from repurposed materials, symbolizes how we can turn waste into something meaningful and lasting.
