“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth”. —Herman Hesse
A CELEBRATION OF TREES is an ecological multi-media art exhibition created to educate and expand thought and consciousness about the world’s vast network of trees–a critical resource to humanity’s survival. For over 300 million years, trees have helped stabilize and improve environmental conditions for life on our planet. Today they are a vital solution to global warming. Raising awareness about the devastating consequences of deforestation and the threats to endangered ancient forests, this exhibition showcases the beauty and mystery of trees while inspiring viewers to thoughtfully contemplate how to protect them.

A CELEBRATION OF TREES is partnering with the non-profit Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, whose mission is to create living libraries of old-growth trees for the purpose of functional reforestation. The organization, which focuses on propagation, reforestation, archive, and education, is celebrating their 25th anniversary of working with some of the planet’s oldest and largest trees, both in North America and Europe.
