Editorial illustrations designed for Nature Conservancy Magazine’s article “The healing power of trees”.
Story summary: adding 8,000 trees to a neighborhood in Louisville, KY, improves health conditions linked to heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer. In the fall of 2017, The Nature Conservancy, the University of Louisville's Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute, and other partners launched the Green Heart Louisville Project to examine the link between neighborhood greening and human health. Starting in 2020, TNC and a group of partners began planting about 8,000 large trees throughout part of the study area. The project is tracking the health of 750 residents living near the new greenery compared to those living outside of it.
