Native Flags

a participatory Eco-art project by Xavier Cortada

Native Flags North Pole

On June 29, 2008, Eco-artist Xavier Cortada planted a green flag at the North Pole to reclaim it for nature.

Create Your Own Native Flags

The project’s conspicuous green flags serve as a catalyst for conversations with neighbors, who will be encouraged to join the effort and help rebuild their native tree canopy one yard at a time.
