OneTree was a project started in 1998 in England to tell the full story of a single tree and the extraordinary value it brought to society, its beauty and the versatility of its wood. The project has inspired a number of projects around the world.
The project was initiated by Garry Olson and Peter Toaig, who worked with 70 artists and makers.[1] The project ran for some three years until 2001 but a website about the project is still live.[2]
Other 'onetree' projects
The original onetree project has inspired a number of projects around the world:
- Fifty artists were involved in a project of the same name in Tasmania that 'saved' a tree (of unknown species) from being chipped and increased its estimated value from $350 to $10,000.[3]
- Another one tree project in Alaska following the life of one birch tree is currently underway.[4]
- The most recent onetree project to be initiated is the OneOak project running in the UK, where a 160-year-old oak tree is being felled on the Blenheim Estate in Oxfordshire.
