The Urban Forest Project is a unique opportunity for corporations and organizations to align with an initiative that supports the environment, education and public art. This April, the project will plant 100 street banners by students, artists and designers in high traffic areas of San Francisco and Washington DC in celebration of Earth Day. The banners will remain a part of the city landscape in both cities for up to four months. Proceeds from the recycled banners will benefit tree planting and urban forestry efforts.

February 26th marks the sponsorship deadlines for both the San Francisco and Washington DC projects. To learn more about the wide range of available opportunities, please visit the UFP SF and UFP DC sites or contact Andréa Pellegrino.

With the first in a series of planned executions of The Urban Forest Project recently launching in Albuquerque, Fast Company explores the history, genesis and future of the initiative. Focusing on Worldstudio’s expertise in creating and implementing socially-responsible projects and programs for corporations and non-profits, the article uses The Urban Forest Project as a case study to follow Worldstudio’s process in helping their clients connect to key constituencies in lasting and meaningful ways. The article, written by Alissa Walker, was published as part of The Designers Accord case study series.
