2018 Art on the Trails Passport

PA S S P O R T Find them ALL!

Art on the Trails Visitors hiking the Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation’s trails will be pleasantly surprised when they stumble upon original artwork created on our trails.

The Art on the Trails program recycles and repurposes materials found in nature, such as downed trees and other natural materials, and changes them into sculptures, park benches or other artistic elements.

The sculptures reflect native wildlife and the local environment of the various trails.

By using these natural materials for art installations, they are saved from landfills. Visitors can see how the sculpture changes as it decays over the years.

Working as a team with an artist, tree crews, naturalists, and park rangers, young people learned the importance of maintaining and protecting the environment by creating art from recycled materials.

So lace up your trail shoes and take an easy hike to see each of the Art on the Trails projects.
