Means Of Production (MOP) is a land art installation consisting of a series of hillside plantings in North China Creek Park, designed to grow art supplies sustainably and perpetually.

The plantings consist of a canopy layer predominantly of hazel, ash, willow and bamboo as well as an understory of various herbaceous annuals and perennials. The trees will be harvested using traditional techniques such as coppicing and pollarding which do not sacrifice the parent trees and create picturesque regrowth patterns in the parts left behind.

Means Of Production is about community empowerment. It points the way towards self-sufficiency and making a positive difference to the global environmental crisis at a hands-on neighbourhood level. Means Of Production enables an end to hand wringing and a beginning to constructive engagement.

This project's co-mingling of activist, environmentalist youths with skilled artists and artisans will energize both constituencies as well as the neighbourhood at large. The workshops were designed to draw in a wide spectrum of participants from the community to help people develop new skills and provide outlets for their creativity.
