Telluride Arborglyph Collector
What is it about?
Scattered among the aspen trees throughout the San Juan National Forest are records of a past way of life carved into the trunks of aspen trees. Historians and archaeologists call these "arborglyph"; (literally "tree writing") – pictorial and graphic imagery carved into the soft bark of aspens with thin, sharp knives. Over time, as the trees grew, these carvings developed into wide scars.

Scattered among the aspen trees throughout the San Juan National Forest are records of a past way of life carved into the trunks of aspen trees. Historians and archaeologists call these "arborglyph"; (literally "tree writing") – pictorial and graphic imagery carved into the soft bark of aspens with thin, sharp knives. Over time, as the trees grew, these carvings developed into wide scars.
A group of interested citizens, the Ah Haa School, and Telluride Historical Museum have established a goal to locate and record as many arborglyphs as possible.
