13 May 2021 - New York City, New York, United States: Visitors to New York City's Madison Square Park sitting in the midst of Ghost Forest, an installation by artist and designer Maya Lin which opened to the public this week. The work consists of of forty-nine Atlantic white cedar trees, victims of salt water inundation due to climate change, planted in the middle of the one and a half acre park. The project is intended to be both a symbol of the devastation of climate change and forest loss around the world, but also to raise awareness of what we are losing as climate change takes hold. The installation will be on display through November of this year and a variety of educational and awareness building programming will be offered in conjunction during this time. Additionally 1000 tress will be planted in New York City parks as part of this overall effort, and which will more than offset the carbon footprint of installation.
