Landsigns

Landsigns is a poetic conversation between humans and the environment that captures our beautiful yet complicated relationship with nature at a time of profound uncertainty. Signs placed along a public trail, inspired by interviews with scientists conducting research at the Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, communicate both their wonderment and their concern for the biological communities they study. Like advance warning signs seen along roadways, Landsigns asks you to slow down and pay attention to the changes in your environment. By taking the time to listen deeply to the world, and notice how we are affected by our surroundings, we can begin to reconnect with nature and build a shared future together.
