Children and parents gathered in Lower Sammamish Commons Park Saturday to build a giant nest out of discarded branches.
The project, overseen by environmental artist Karen White, took place over three hours of construction. The builders then loaded the finished nest onto a flatbed truck bound for Big Rock Park.
Big Rock is currently under construction and the nest will be a permanent art installation, Sammamish Parks Project Manager Kellye Hilde said.
The children voted to name the nest “Home Tweet Home” after they came up with nearly two dozen possible names in a brainstorming session. Other suggestions included “Lorem Ipsum,” “Gorilla Nest,” “Sticking Up For Bad Puns” and “Tweet House.”
The nest building project, previously written about by Eastside Scene reporter Megan Campbell, was collaboratively planned by the Sammamish Arts Commission and the city Parks Department.
