Happy #ArborDay!
This year marks the 150th anniversary of Arbor Day, an annual holiday that celebrates the planting, upkeep and preservation of trees.
Communities spanning the globe have found various ways to honor nature and the environment during this holiday.
This piece by Christo and Jean Claude showcases The Gates Project, an installation of twenty-three miles of pathways in New York City’s Central Park.
