urban forest project in baltimore's opening event

a group of us helped plan the urban forest project in baltimore's opening event at the johns hopkins beach. we came up with a concept for it and helped develop the graphics used. below is the main big banner that you can see from the street.

since the whole event is to about the trees and to double the tree canopy in baltimore by having the city donate about 1000 trees to city residents, we decided to use the trees as part of the event. one of the groupings is seen above. there are 5 events that urban forest is doing for the next three months in different parks around baltimore, and since this was the opening event, we decided to promote that with the tree sections. each one is in the shape of a horse shoe with the banner promoting one of the coming events at the top of it. in between the trees were various tables, and at the bottom was a stage where bands were playing.
this is a close up of the banners.
these little circles were put in all the trees and around the older, actual trees that were there. they each had different large dollar amounts, that were to show how much money people would be saving if there were more trees in baltimore. so, if people help the tree canopy grow, then they will be saving money.
