“The trees tell a millennial story. If we knew how to hear them ...”
🌳
“Most people who bother to think about plants at all tend to regard them as the mute, immobile furniture of our world—useful enough, and generally attractive, but obviously second-class citizens in the republic of life on Earth.”
🌳
“Plants are smart in that they know how to solve problems. For example, a plant that feels attacked by an insect secretes substances that will encourage its attackers to eat each other! They are the real engines of life on earth: without plants, the Earth would be like Mars. We must protect the forests and make them untouchable, we are dependent on plants and defend them, that is defending ourselves!”
🌳
"It is thanks to trees that we will be able to begin a new stage which is called the ecological transition, which is called truly sustainable development, a fundamental change in the way we work with nature, rather than against nature. "
🌳
Our Vision
🌳Trees are our essential life partners on Earth.
The scientific interests and advances of recent decades in the extraordinary living world of trees show us that they are models of fertility, productivity, efficiency, caring and simplicity. They have crossed all time and they have an age old story to tell.
Their intelligence opens new avenues for multiple solutions and concrete research projects to address the socio-economic and environmental challenges we face.
The tree is an absolute art form. We believe that the indisputable art that trees give us - with their gigantic architectures, their millenary life models of unstoppable technology, and the indulgence they have towards us - is a vehicle for sustainable communication, arousing people’s curiosity, and raising awareness.
Our Mission
🌳Plant trees.
We wish to strengthen this new perspective on the interaction that humans can develop with these giant plants and raise public awareness through aer art, street art, art at the heart of the citizens' environment.
OUR MAIN OBJECTIVES
Mobilize the public around their interconnection with trees.
Make future generations directly aware of the scientific realities related to trees in schools.
Support and federate the multiple actors* of the tree world, biologists, scientists, researchers, agroforestry workers, etc....
Preserve and regenerate woodland ecosystems.
* List of speakers, partners and projects that we help on request.

« LISTEN TO THE TREES, THEY HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL US! »
-save the date-
THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE FROM OCTOBER 21 TO 28, 2019 AT THE TERMINUS OF AVENUE LOUISE/AVENUE LEGRAND, 1050 & 1000 BRUSSELS.
OUR PROJECT:
The urban event "LISTEN TO THE TREES, THEY HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL US" will propose an urban art action where the tree will be highlighted on a large Brussels avenue. Its mission will be to raise artistic and scientific awareness among a wide audience of the importance of new codes to think and interact with the tree. We will invite the passer-by to better observe the trees, in a fun and unusual way. It is about (re)discovering their benefits and getting to know their "way and world" of intimate life. Files on request.
Our TEAM for this project "LISTEN TO THE TREES":
o Sophie Stinglhamber
Founder Leader of the NPO Sustainable Art (2017) – Author of the project.
As an artist and environmentalist Sophie Stinglhamber
Trees have always been present in my life. I am passionate about nature and the creative inspiration it offers. As someone curious about ecosystems, I observe human impact on the environment and its consequences. Determined to communicate my concerns and observations through my work, I use mediums such as photography, sculpture, text, and drawing to create ecologically engaged art, sometimes taking the form of urban art. Since 2017, it is essential for me to use sustainable materials; a difficult but stimulating challenge.The performances, the installations and the interactions have shown her the way to urban art for her current projects.
o Priscille Cazin
Founder of Zérolutions and co-founder and Director of Wood Wide Web – Co-author of the project "LISTEN TO THE TREES".
Priscille is an author, scriptwriter, director, journalist, producer and social and environmental entrepreneur. Themes related to nature and humanity have been at the heart of her work for several years. For 20 years she has been creating, developing and producing audiovisual / digital information and programs for various European media (radio, TV, WebTV). She also carries out media and field awareness campaigns aimed at a wide audience. Passionate about the popularization of science and the treatment of information through sound and image, Priscille creates empathic and collaborative communication tools that promote citizen participation and empowerment.
Wood Wide Web is a project of popularization and cross-media awareness on the urban forest of Brussels. Her goal is to enchant the public and to federate a community around the trees of the Brussels Capital Region and get them to discover initiatives and events that take place at their feet.
This project proposes educational tools to enable people to explore Brussels as a forest: to (re) connect and dive into the environment.
Wood Wide Web works closely with the Scientific Community. This adventure mobilizes some 60 structures, associations, institutions, collective citizens, schools, etc. It is connected to many Belgian and European tree initiatives. The project is widely reported in the media.
o Sophie Hasaerts
Strategy and curator for the project.
As an independent director of cultural projects, Sophie Hasaerts has worked for many years in the field of arts promotion, convinced of what artistic creation can bring as vitality to an urban community and what it can trigger out curiosity, openness and awareness. In so many ways and more than ever at this turning point already well underway towards the 21st century, the artists' message underlines and sustains the ecological question.
