NYC’s Living Tree Museum

Artist Katie Holten created the Living Tree Museum, which includes 100 selected trees on the stretch of boulevard that connects Manhattan to the parks of Northern Bronx. Each tree is labeled with its name in English, Spanish, and Latin, and tagged with a number to dial in order to hear that tree’s story. Holten selected professors, activists, geologists, and landscape architects to tell each “tree-story.”
Majora Carter, an environmental justice activist, recorded a “tree-story” to tell people: “You don’t have to leave your neighborhood to live in a better one, and trees are an important part of making that happen.”
