If A Tree Falls…

In London alone, 6,000 trees are cut down prematurely each year. These trees have had a significant role in the urban ecosystem and community as they promote health and social well-being. However, cities lack the infrastructure to process them and therefore they aren’t used. 'If a tree falls...' aims to create community-driven processing systems together with local experts such as tree harvesters and craftsmen that utilize every part of the tree. Branches can become spoons and bark can be turned into natural textile dye. Meanwhile, on-site workshops and demonstrations inform the public about urban nature and its value. In this way, the trees can live on and play a role in a community’s collective experience and memory.
