Tree News is a newsletter and event series produced by artists Erin Mallea and Paper Buck. Tree News focuses on tree and forest stories as entry points into discussions of place, ecological orientations in art practice, environmental justice, and climate change adaptation.
For Issue 5, Travis was invited to contribute research and artwork on the topic of Spotted Lanternflies. What manifested was an entangled story of Spotted Lanternflies, Tree of Heaven, and Philadelphia, PA.
