A Forest of Creativity

This fall, The Urban Forest Project will plant banners by local artists and designers on light poles throughout Albuquerque, NM. Each banner will use the form or metaphor for the tree to make a powerful visual statement about the environment. Together they’ll create a forest of thoughtful images in the urban landscape and raise awareness of AlbuquerqueGreen, the city’s innovative environmental program.

The banners will be hung on light poles in a series of high-traffic locations in the greater Albuquerque area beginning in mid-September 2009. Once the banners come down, they will be recycled into unique tote bags designed exclusively for the project. Sales from the bags will benefit Tree New Mexico to support their tree planting efforts in Albuquerque and their mission to “keep New Mexico clean, beautiful and healthy.”

This project, conceived by Worldstudio, is being presented in collaboration with the City of Albuquerque and Tree New Mexico, with generous support from our sponsors.
