Forest Troll
Though each troll was named by the artist Thomas Dambo, he was inspired by his local crew of helpers. I don’t know this troll’s given name, but he is a protector of the forest.
Heads, hands and feet were made in Denmark, and shipped to the Morton Arboretum in Illinois where staff and volunteers constructed the bodies.
The project emphasizes the importance of trees 🌲 and uses all reclaimed wood.

Was that picture taken in a park?
In Illinois- the Morton Arboretum
Thats neat, I did not know that a place like that existed in Illinois!
Those are nice pieces of art. Is it far from Chicago?
It’s about 1.5 hour drive.
