Meet the newest resident of the Cambridge Sculpture Garden! 🐸✨

Say hello to **Toad Touch** by regional artist Annie Dunning. This gorgeous bronze sculpture is officially installed and ready for visitors of all ages to discover, touch, and admire!

But our amphibious story doesn't end here—*Toad Touch* is actually one of a pair! We’re currently fundraising to bring the second bronze toad home so these two can finally be reunited.

**How you can help:**
Head to the link in our bio to donate to our sculpture acquisition fund and help us complete the set. Every little bit gets us one step closer to bringing Toad #2 to the garden! 💚

Huge shoutout to @duenchcontractors for their careful installation and garden work. Thank you!

Drop a 🐸 in the comments if you’re planning to visit this weekend!

My new project “Southfield” will be part of the art and nature events at the Long Dash Festival in Cambridge, ON July 26th! Copies of this poster/ field guide of butterflies is free for visitors to take home if they like. There will also be an installation of this work that invites visitors to imagine how butterflies might read the landscape with vision that includes the UV spectrum. I’m not able to be there but @bartholomew.sophia will be on site to facilitate your visit! This project is the result of a six-month fellowship @rare_sites supported by @musagetesf There will also be opportunities to go on a butterfly walk and learn about the scientific procedures rare researchers use to monitor butterfly populations! 🦋 🌼 Thanks to @lisa.hirmer @bartholomew.sophia and all the folks at rare and Musagetes for the support ❤️ Check @musagetesf instagram account for the full weekend schedule of events. by @annie.e.dunning

The Cambridge Sculpture Garden committee is seeking support to bring a new permanent sculpture to Cambridge by artist Annie Dunning. Toad Touch is a pair of super-sized bronze toads that will bring a playful, interactive, and mythical presence to the garden. As the hands of visitors touch the toads for good luck, they will contribute to the polished shine leaving a trace of human connection that reminds us that we share the world and prompts us to consider our relationship with nature.

On this 'Giving Tuesday' we are launching our
100 people, 100 dollars campaign to raise $10,000 to help fund the remaining $33,850 to welcome these toads to Cambridge.

To donate, go to our website: www.cambridgesculpturegarden.com

Any amount is appreciated and will receive a tax credit. taken in Cambridge Sculpture Garden by @annie.e.dunning

Today I had the privilege of participating in the salamander monitoring program @rare_sites. I’ve been volunteering with monitoring programs as a way to engage with the rare property as part of my fellowship with rare and @musagetesf. We saw red-backed salamanders, leadbacked salamanders (not pictured), a four toed salamander (2 pictures top and underside) a beautiful DeKay’s brown snake and a spotted salamander! by @annie.e.dunning

(Wilted) Chicory 5. Celandine 6. Celandine withoutUV light. by @annie.e.dunning

I’m very excited to be a recipient of the Question Mark Fellowship from @musagetesf @rare_sites! Over the past few weeks I’ve enjoyed volunteering on site and getting to know a bit about the property and what goes on there. As part of different research initiatives, I’ve collected seeds of native plants, participated in a butterfly survey and a snake survey! 🦋 picture by Morgan B. 🐣🦋🪱🦌🐢 Turkey eggs?
