‘Arnhemse Bomen Vertellen’ (Arnhem Trees are talking) is an interactive installation from 15 June to 15 September 2024 in Sonsbeek Park, Zijpendaal and Gulden Bodem in Anrhem (NL).
During “Arnhemse Bomen Vertellen”, you will meet trees as you meet a work of art. Very special and old trees live in the three parks. Using sensors installed in six trees, “Arnhemse Bomen Vertellen” makes visible what is otherwise hidden from the human eye: the mouvement of the trunk, the CO2 and water supply, the temperature in the air and at the roots, the amount of sunlight that helps the trees in their photosynthesis.
Visitors can meet all trees during a walk or you can meet one or more trees on a daily basis, get to know them and make new, lifelong friendships. Experience the parks and their trees in an innovative way. Establish a relationship with the trees and become more aware of the natural and cultural heritage the parks have to offer.
