The artist Luke Jerram on the tree-planting project he’ll never see finished

Luke Jerram, known for his impactful art installations like the Museum of the Moon and Play Me I’m Yours, is now focusing on a long-term environmental project called Echo Wood. This initiative involves planting 365 native British trees in Somerset as part of a century-long vision. Jerram's approach is philosophical, viewing this project as a legacy that will flourish long after he is gone. His work not only highlights the importance of art in public spaces but also emphasizes the role of artists in addressing environmental issues. By engaging with nature through art, Jerram invites the community to reflect on sustainability and the future, making Echo Wood a significant endeavor that intertwines creativity with ecological responsibility.
