Native Flags exhibit at FIU Graham Center 4/9/2012 to 4/30/2012 Native Flags is a participatory eco-art project created by Xavier Cortada, FIU College of Architecture + The Arts | Office of Engaged Creativity artist-in-residence. Native Flags participants plant a native tree next to a green flag at home and ask their neighbors to do the same. On April 10th, a Native Flag green flag and sapling will be planted at every school in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. See www.nativeflags.org.

As a companion to the tree planting activities, schools and the community at large can also view a WLRN-produced informational video throughout Earth Week, highlighting the relevance of these activities as a way to increase our community’s tree canopy.
