Canisteo Living Sign
The Canisteo Living Sign is a historic civic project that also served as a navigational aid, located at Canisteo in Steuben County, New York. The sign consists of a set of 260 pine trees that spell out the name "Canisteo." They occupy a space approximately 90 feet long and 300 feet wide. The sign was originally laid out in 1933. The sign was cleared in April 2016 and subsequently replanted beginning in May 2016 due to a number of dead and dying trees.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
The sign can be seen as an unconventional form of hillside letters.
