Rooting Where's Your Tree?
Our Mission
An artist-initiated, eco-project founded in 2019, Where’s Your Tree? is an advocate and partner for urban green initiatives and funding opportunities that affirm a sustainable future for the planet and Black and brown lives.
Our Vision
To create forums and funding opportunities that affirm and improve the ways of being in the world for artists, healers, urban growers/farmers, and educators.
Our Origin Story
The question Where's Your Tree? emerged from a Commencement Address (see link below) that was first presented to a graduating class of Goddard College students in 2015. Of course, it was offered more as an instructive metaphor to the students, on how to nurture their outrage, genius, and conviction. Yet we often pursue what we need to learn. The spaces in which transformative ideas are rooted, are also often filled with resistance, uncertainty, fear, and a need for a radical change of climate.
