The Canisteo Living Sign is a historic civic project that was built by Ed Childs and Harry Smith, donated to the Canisteo School District, 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 (27 m) long and 300 feet (91 m) wide. The sign was originally laid out in 1933.[2] The sign was cleared in April 2016 and subsequently replanted beginning in May 2016 due to a number of dead and dying trees.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
The sign can be seen as an unconventional form of hillside letters.
