Environmental Sculpture Trail
Arcadia Sculpture Centre Environmental Sculpture Trail and Nature Walk
Arcadia Sculpture Trail will eventually encompass all 21 acres of land, the landscape providing a backdrop to contemplative but inspirational artworks; every piece carefully selected to work in harmony with its surroundings. The overriding theme at Arcadia is the symbiotic relationship between art, nature, and people. Selecting and siting artwork to place around the trail will be an evolving process over the coming months and years.
Art and Nature To further enhance the biodiversity at Arcadia we have created three wildlife ponds, each slightly different in scale and structure, in order to encourage a broad range of insects and wildlife.
An abundance of Dragonflies and Damselflies have made Arcadia their home, and a myriad of other insect life has populated our new ponds.
Since creating the ponds, over the past two years there has been a significant increase in the abundance of insect life at Arcadia and we are very encouraged to see thousands of bees populate our new wild meadow, feeding on the clover and wild flowers that had lain dormant in the soil, re-emerging once the field was left fallow. This type of wild meadow produces an abundance of nectar and pollen which helps sustain the bees during the early part of Summer.
