'''The Tree Hugger Project''' is an ongoing work of environmental art conceived by the artists Agnieszka Gradzik and [[Wiktor Szostalo]].
Installations of the project have occurred in cities across [[Poland]], in [[England]], and in the [[United States]].
With the help of participants on site who gather sticks, twigs, vines and other natural materials, the artists fashion together groups of figures literally "hugging" trees. The artist's stated intention is to...{{Cquote|...remind us that we humans are still very much a part of our natural surroundings.}}
The most recent installation was sponsored by [[Klub Gaja]] in Wilkowice, Poland to celebrate [[International Tree Day]].
Installations are currently planned for [[Europos Parkas]] in Lithuania and the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art in Isfahan, Iran.[http://www.stlmagathome.com/media/At-Home/July-August-2006/Homefront/]
