A Story of Growth: Pre-Order
A limited-edition Pendleton blanket created for World Forestry Center’s 60th anniversary—celebrating forests as living systems of resilience, connection, and renewal.
Wrap Yourself in the Story of Forests
A limited-edition World Forestry Center “A Story of Growth” 60th Anniversary blanket created in partnership with Pendleton Woolen Mills to celebrate forests, community, and connection.
The design is rooted in the image of tree rings and the stories they tell, each one marking time, growth, and change. Reflecting the beauty, resilience, and importance of forests, it carries forward a shared story of place and purpose.
Every thread connects you to something bigger: landscapes that sustain us, communities that depend on them, and a shared responsibility to care for them.
