Re-creation of the American Green Cross Monument

Miss American Green Cross was originally dedicated on May 4, 1928 to represent the American Green Cross Society. The early environmental organization was dedicated to the "saving of American's greatest asset-trees". The first chapter of the Society was awarded to Glendale. The monument first stood on the grounds of old Glendale High School at the corner of Broadway and Verdugo Road.

Miss American Green Cross represents an early awareness of the earth's fragile environment. Inscriptions around the monument describe early environmental concerns which are even more pertinent today. The female figure before a great green cross has her arms outstretched to accept the plea to save the nation's trees. At her feet are broken logs, depicting the destroyed forest.

Miss American Green Cross has been meticulously restored to her original glory, greeting visitors and sharing her very important message as she did so many years ago.
