This mural is located on the Roots Natural Organic Health Foods building. Artist Carly Bouwman worked with students to create a design inspired by endangered and at-risk plants and animals found in the region. The mural includes local species such as the great blue heron, western painted turtle, western bumble bee, white sturgeon, Oregon spotted frog, barn owl and marbled murrelet. It celebrates Maple Ridge’s connection to the natural environment and highlights the region’s biodiversity.
This work was created as part of the Mural Collective, a project funded by the City of Maple Ridge and delivered by the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association with support from participating artists, youth, property owners and community partners.
