But long before 9/11, that land had been wounded too, lush forests becoming mines before becoming empty fields struggling to thrive.

Through lyrical prose and lush art, 150,000 Trees illuminates the hope and empathy of the American people and shows the power of individuals to make a difference. Releasing in time for the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
