Our Logo

The Aspen Leaf in the AFR logo represents an important element of an Aspen Grove. Each Grove grows by sending out runners from the root system, which then mature into individual trees that flourish and continue the process. Like the Aspen Grove, AFR grows its organization by members spreading the word, adding beauty, joy, and motion to the lives of others through the power of their stories of recovery.
