Trees in urban areas are important elements in the city's fabric, they silently witness the passage of seasons and offer visual effects to the city dwellers. Yet they are deeply entangled with human history, other than human lives and with the elements of the environment where they stand. Trees testify to the history of the city and to daily activities that unfold under their canopy. This project aims to study the trees of a specific location (Yelahanka New Town) through guided walks, mapping and conversations with experts in the history of urban planning and botany. The participants will create an herbarium as well as document the unique stories that emerge from their learnings and interactions and knowledge about the trees in the location through visual means.
