The tunnel takeover is part of the League’s 100th anniversary celebration to raise awareness of redwoods and how the public can celebrate these forests during our Centennial Celebration Week, in particular our free Stand for the Redwoods Festival in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Gardens on Sunday, October 14, 2018.
The temporary tunnel artwork features the photography of Max Forster, Paolo Vescia, Jim Campbell-Spickler, and Will Goldenberg. The floor designs were created using 300 different photographs of native plants and animals, stitched together in one photomosaic by Robert Van Pelt.
