Moving Forest

A forest on the go!

Moving Forest by NL Architects is a new installation designed to bring attention to the essential role urban trees play in our collective health. A living flock of 50 trees, each on its own set of wheels, will journey through different areas of the city, including Harbourfront Centre.
