Big tree hunters go big troll hunting! Visited some incredible giant troll sculptures by Danish recycle artist Thomas Dambo at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY. These giants are made from recycled materials and hid in forests and cities around the world. The trolls mission is to help “Save the Humans” with the goal to inspire environmental stewardship, recycling, and a deeper connection to nature. With a similar mission that to ours, Big Trees and Big Trolls, inspire us to preserve and care for our planet and all its amazing inhabitants, for future generations.

🧌🍂 🌀LET’S GO TROLL HUNTING IN THE ADIRONDACKS!

If you’ve been meaning to visit TROLLS: Save the Humans at @wildcenter in Tupper Lake, NY, this is your sign to plan that trip!

Created by Danish artist @thomasdambo, these larger-than-life trolls are made from reclaimed materials and tucked into the natural landscape for a magical outdoor adventure the whole family will love.

⏰ But hurry! The exhibit ends October 31, and tickets are nearly sold out for some dates!

The good news? You can still visit Patrick Sapling, New York State’s first permanent Thomas Dambo troll, who will be sticking around long after the exhibit ends. 🧌🌲

📍 The Wild Center | Tupper Lake, NY

✨ Save this for your next Adirondack adventure and book your tickets before it’s too late!

Not my usual crafting post, but I’ve been enjoying fall and using my camera more! I think fall is now my new favorite season! 🍁🍂🧡

These are photos from sunrise hike at Mount Jo, hike on Goodnow Mountain which my alma mater @suny.esf maintains, and a trip to the @wildcenter to see Trolls: Save the Humans by @thomasdambo !

The Adirondack Youth Climate Summit may be over but the impact is just beginning! Today, we were inspired by Chef Joseph Yoon from @brooklynbugs, tried eating insects, made our climate action plans, and wrapped with an incredible closing ceremonies. Thank you to everyone for attending! We can’t wait to see what you do next!

Dreaming of the trolls for so long, finally met the perfect ones!
@bigbenmarino joined me on my quest north. He learned to make friends with dragonflies, help with my Sasquatch sighting and snap the perfect fire pit photo.
Everyone should head to @wildcenter and the Adirondacks. My city boy 🩷 can attest to its beauty. #trollsworldtour #savethehumans
