The Tree That Owns Itself: Populate the world with its Offspring!!!

Update #3: Thank you...

Posted on October 30, 2009

Thank you all for supporting this project.

We didn't make the pledge goal, but we did generate a lot of interest.

I think that with a little more time, maybe a month or two more, we would have easily reached the goal.

This has been a great learning experience, and will help in the future with continuing the project.

If you have any feedback please feel free to contact me,

sethnicholas@gmail.com

Thanks again for your support! It is much appreciated!

Sincerely,

Seth Nicholas Stephens and The Tree That Owns Itself

Hey guys,

Thanks for pledging! We still have a ways to go, but we're going to make it happen!

An update...

Athens local magazine/paper, the Flagpole, ran a mention of the project in this weeks edition (Wednesday 09.30.09).

Michael Lachowski of Pylon also posted about it on his Young, Foxy, and Free blog.

Plus, he mentioned it in the new print edition of "Young, Foxy, and Free". He just happened to have a picture of The Tree That Owns Itself in the new magazine!!! Grab a copy if you live in Athens, GA!

Thanks and spread the word so we can spread the acorns!!!

The Tree That Owns Itself

  Yes yes y'all, this idea of Seth's is ridiculously ingenious. It is as interesting as a tool to advance Athens' tourism business and fame as it is an art concept—I appreciate it on many levels. Pledge to get him started!
