January 31 through April 19, 2009
East Gallery
The Witness Tree Protection Program, conducted in coordination with the National Capital Region of the National Park Service, aimed to identify and document 24 historically and biologically significant trees in the
Washington , D.C. area. They are extremely diverse: large and small, old and young, rare or common species, planted by famous persons or naturally established, all are memorials. The powerful collection of black-and-white photographic images is testimony that natural and cultural resources share an important common ground.
