A Million Trees to Finland

A Million Trees to Finland's aim is to inspire climate action through the contemporary art practice of planting trees. 

This is achieved by sharing tree seedlings and by planting trees and site-specific Miniforests. These actions combine art and green design, and create natural spaces and quietness in urban locations while also contributing to biodiversity.

A Million Trees to Finland is part of Finnish artist Nina Backman’s ongoing Silence Project. Backman sees the tree planting initiative as both contemporary art practice and a collective, concrete action to raise awareness and develop innovative solutions to climate change. In cooperation with artists, companies, non-profit organizations, and a wide range of experts,in Finland and internationally.
