Grizedale

Grizedale was at the forefront in the development of outdoor art in the 1970s and the Forest is home to over 60 sculptures including works by Andy Goldsworthy, Richard Harris and Peter Nikoloski, which attract thousands of visitors.

The Forestry Commission recently decided to take over responsibility for introducing new works of art so that it could add to the existing collection: no new works had been commissioned at Grizedale for several years.

The first of the new pieces commissioned by Grizedale was this aviary by Pauline, containing an owl, a raven and two crows. It was installed on 10th April 2006. The event was recorded and broadcast by Border TV.
