When Does a Tree Become a Forest?

Workshop, Monson Arts

Monson, Maine 

Summer 2025

"When Does a Tree Become a Forest?" explores the importance of trees in our lives. This participatory project creates a bond between individuals, their community, and nature.

Participants were invited to reflect on the following questions:

- Do you remember a tree?
- Is there a tree that has become a landmark of memory for you?
- Do you have a story of a tree you would like to share?

By writing their story on a provided tag and hanging it on the tree, individual participants become part of a large, collective shared memory.
