Fluorescent pink surveyor’s tape—the same material developers use to mark trees for removal—was wrapped around trees throughout the woodland of The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. From various lines of sight, the scattered ribbons aligned into a single horizontal plane, visually cutting across the forest. Move, and the demarcation vanishes. ☐
