The Urban Forest Project is a design-centric socially conscious event and exhibition. A collection of 185 tree-themed banners that will be on display in Times Square from September 1st to October 31st 2006. The banners represent work by a who’s who of the creative community. “Each banner uses the form of the tree, or a metaphor for the tree, to make a powerful visual statement. Together they create a forest of thought-provoking images at one of the world’s busiest, most energetic, and emphatically urban intersections.” All of them can be seen on The Urban Forest Project site.

After the banners come down they will be made into tote bags and sold at an auction. Proceeds will be given to arts-related scholarship funds.
