THE HISTORIC TREES PROJECT
Introduction
The historic tree project is my effort to research and document historic trees of the United States. What makes a tree historic is, of course, a subjective judgment. Every tree has its own history of time and events, seasons and storms. I am arbitrarily choosing trees that are "historic" by virtue of their relation to human history. These trees have witnessed important events in the history of our nation or are linked directly to an important historic figure. I am interested in exploring the connection between nature and people, tree and person. By focusing on the relationship between one tree and one community, I want to draw attention to the interdependency between man and nature.
