Unchop a tree – Maya Lin

http://www.vimeo.com/8128504

Came across this in Architecture Week. I wish we could “unchop” trees – stop the madness!

Something we can do is plant – it might not make up for all the old growth that’s come down, but it does make a difference. We’ve planted 4000 trees / woody plants in the hedges here (that’s 4000 linear metres), and we encourage old hedges to re-grow. This in our own backyard of close to 17 hectares. Biodiversity grows year by year.

Some local farmers are replanting hedges as well – maybe encouraged by our actions….

Others………………continue to take them out!

Unfortunately, deforestation continues – but on a less spectacular scale – one tree at a time.
