Trolls! @ The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, New York

 

The Wild Center is the located

at the Natural History Museum 

of the Adirondacks.

Tupper Lake's Wild Center is hosting six of Danish Sculptor Thomas Dambo's Trolls.  Each is made from recycled wood.  Dambo creates stories for each of his Trolls.  Each one is sweet and inspiring.  

Eric and I joined friends John and Carol walk the trails in search of huge Trolls.

Ronja Redeye greets visitors.

She speaks from her heart.

The four of us walk through the woods in search of more Trolls.

I pose with Rosa Sunfinger.

Her magical fingertips create

flowers all around her.

The trail brings us to Stickwork

Patrick Doherty is the artistic

force behind this installation

inspired by the Adirondack

Mountains.

Sofus Lotus sits quietly to listen

to the world around him.

He believes that humans can

slow down & find natural

wonders around them.

John & Carol spend time 

with Basse Buller.

He uses stones, leaves & sticks 

to create symbols inspired

by nature.

Patrick Sapling has been permanently installed here at the Wild Center.  

Patrick reminds us that

EVERY tree was once

a Sapling.

Brightly colored Bird Houses

decorate the Music Trail.

I stand near Ibbi Pip as she

hangs Tree Houses along

the trail.

John, Carol, Eric, and I enjoyed our afternoon hike at The Wild Center.  We saw just six of Thomas Dambo's 130 plus Trolls.  The artist wants to install a Troll in each US State.  Look for them as you travel.  The map will guide you.

It is my hope that more States will find sites for these 

Whimsical Environmental Ambassadors.
