Notes in Trees is a project started in Los Angeles to spread a little love ❤︎

Treenotes are biodegradable notes of affirmation, carefully placed in trees for people to find and collect.

In August 2024, I placed a few poems I had written in the trees around my LA neighborhood. I folded them in half, wrote This is for you and eventually created an Instagram page so I could let finders know that these treenotes, as I called them, could be taken home.

If anyone would like to participate in the project, I invite you to checkout the Treenote Making Guide, so you can create + plant treenotes in your community.

If you find a treenote, you can either take it home or leave it for someone else to find. You can share your treenotes (created or found) on Instagram by tagging @notesintrees

If you happen to find a treenote on the ground, or in a place other than a tree - please pick it up or remove it.
