More than one tree will grow in Brooklyn with the artist Spencer Finch’s new forest installation for the Public Art Fund, Spencer Finch: Lost Man Creek, due to open on 1 October at the MetroTech Commons (until 13 May 2018). The work will be a living 1:100-scale model of a 790-acre section of the Redwood National Park in California, with around 4,000 young Dawn Redwood trees that are 1 to 4 feet high (rather than the 98 to 380 feet of the spectacular giants in the wild). Finch teamed up with the environmental non-profit Save the Redwoods League, who gave the artist the data needed to make a miniature version of the protected site. On select dates in September, groups of 20 volunteers will help plant the trees over an area of 4,500 sq. ft. Art (and arbor) enthusiasts aged 13 and up can apply at lmurray@publicartfund.org.
