The Mission First,
We Heal The Heart
From Debris to Destination
It started with an email from a local cabin owner in the flood zone: "Can you come carve a little sunshine back into this community that has suffered so much devastation?"
This project is not an effort to forget what has been lost; it is a dedicated and compassionate way for communities still in mourning to honor the lives, homes, and businesses affected by the devastating Guadalupe River flood of July 2025.
The Heartwood Revival is a large-scale public art project with a mission to transform the majestic, flood-felled trees into permanent art trails throughout the communities of Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville and Comfort.
A Sculpture Trail of Hope
A Crucial Promise to the Community
The people of the Guadalupe River basin have already lost enough. Their resources must be focused on rebuilding their homes and lives. That is why this is a national call for support.
We are asking our friends across Texas and the United States—and anyone moved by this story—to help fund this vital work of healing, without placing any further burden on local residents.
Our Foundational Partners
This project is already a community effort!
We are deeply grateful to partner with Roddy Tree Ranch, which has generously donated the entire event venue, artist lodging, and the majestic salvaged cypress logs for our first 5 sculptures.
We have also secured full sponsorship for all steel fabrication for the sculpture frames.
With the logs, venue, lodging, and steel all donated, every dollar you give goes directly to the artists and essential operations.
Roddy Tree Ranch
The Art is Just the Beginning.
The Sculpture Trail is the catalyst for our long-term mission: The Riverbank Revival. The primary funds raised in this campaign go toward the creation and installation of the art. This art then serves as the permanent 'Ambassador' for the river, driving the long-term awareness and funding needed for future bank stabilization efforts.
Your donation today seeds this entire legacy.
