Tree Canada is a registered charity proudly dedicated to planting and nurturing trees. For 25 years, They’ve engaged communities, governments, corporations and individuals in the pursuit of a greener and healthier living environment for Canadians.
Since 1992, we’ve planted more than 82 million trees, greened more than 660 schoolyards, helped restore places hit by natural disasters and brought together urban forestry experts greening cities all across Canada.
These prints are part of a series to "do better". The project started as a series of watercolour paintings of birds on sheet music back in 2010, which were produced on selectively chosen vintage music sheet.
This particular collection of prints is made from forest sustainability certified (FSC) sources, which adds a visual texture to the paper. The "plastic" sleeve is made from polyactic acid (PLA), which is derived from fermented plant starch.
