These one of a kind elevated feeders are made from recycled solid maple skateboard decks from the Skate It Forward program in North Carolina.
Skate It Forward is a project Meg Grogen started in Hampsted, NC to highlight skateboarding and its riders in a positive way by helping out the community through paying it forward (“Skate It Forward”). The way it works is if a person is under 18 years old and comes up with a plan to help their community in some way–either through volunteering, cleaning up the environment, donating, or anything they think would be a worthwhile project, along with keeping their grades up in school, she will provide that person free decks to ride. When the decks are broken in, she takes them back, exchanges them for new ones, and makes the old decks into recycled feeders.
Price: $80

I can’t wait for your website to be up and running. How can I order something I see on your blog (like the cool skateboard bowl holders)?
