[01] Ancient olive trees surviving on Crete
Greek and foreign artists will take part in an exhibition on the
surviving ancient olive trees on the island of Crete. The traveling
exhibition, which will first tour Crete and Attica and afterwards
Europe, is being organised by the Cultural Association of Crete. The
artists will be called to give their own message, through their art, on
protection of the environment and particularly on the salvation of the
ancient olive trees of Crete which are currently at risk. The olive
trees are a landmark of the history and the culture of the island that
witness one of the most well-preserved environments and needs to be
protected.
The second major target of the Cultural Associations of Crete is to
preserve and promote the ancient olive groves which are found
throughout the island.
