Environmental Art
An association with the Launceston gallery Arts Alive has led to the creation of an outdoor gallery space in the forest at Forest Walks Lodge.
Environmental art was installed here as part of the Jackeys Marsh Forest Festival
in 2010. Some of the artwork will remain as a permanent feature on the Fern Gully Walk
The space is also available for other artists with an interest in an outdoor
venue for their art. A number of artists have been inspired to create unique pieces in this
beautiful place.
