“Lovely as a Tree.” All mediums are welcome.
“I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a tree.” -Joyce Kilmer, American Poet 1886-1918
Standing sentry to watch over the Garden State, the trees of New Jersey benefit the environment and the creatures that inhabit it. From the state tree, the Northern red oak, to the memorial tree, the flowering dogwood, this exhibit celebrates their contribution to cleaner air, higher water quality, and a healthier happier community.
Since 1989, D&R Greenway Land Trust has been preserving New Jersey land, ensuring bountiful local crops and protected streams. Through its increasing success in preservation and stewardship, remarkable New Jersey landscapes remain, sustaining native species and inspiring regional artists.
Joyce Kilmer ends his most famous work with the humble insistence:
“poems are made by fools like me
but only God can make a tree”
All too often, humans neglect, carve initials, and/or fell these majestic sentinels, which not only provide our essential oxygen, but also remove C02. To say nothing of their extraordinary beauty.
Artists, here’s your chance to honor the wise and generous trees.
