Artists, Enviros United in Awe of Trees

“A Celebration of Trees,” an ecological multi-media art exhibition created to educate and expand thought and consciousness about the world’s vast network of trees, opened Oct. 1 at the Southampton Arts Center, on view through Dec. 18.

Trees are a critical resource to humanity’s survival. For 300 million years, these species have helped stabilize and improve environmental conditions for life on our planet, and today they’re an essential solution to global warming.
