In recent days, a family of centuries-old Niim trees have been cut down on the Cantonments Roundabout Island. These trees provided both beauty and shade at one of the city's highest elevations. Their loss is part of a increasing pattern of destruction of trees on public lands, which continues in the capital city during the year of Ghana's 50th Anniversary.
The Foundation for Contemporary Art-Ghana, a network of contemporary visual artists and musicians working in Ghana, will commemorate the death of these trees at 'Art in the Garden 12 - Saving Accra's Roots'. The event will take place on the 10th of February, 2007 from 4pm until 7pm at the Cantoments Roundabout. FCA artists and musicians will be joined by community members and environmental activists. Commemorative work will be displayed and on-site artworks and performances will be created for the event.
