This jaw-dropping display was made possible by the donations made to The Pease Park Conservancy.

Dougherty enlisted the help local volunteers to create these magnificent structures, and it took three weeks to complete.

The sticks came from dead trees, but the ending result has a life of its own. These creative huts will remind you of bird's nests, expertly woven together and uniquely beautiful.


This stickwork sculpture is expected to last two years before it naturally deteriorates. You can explore "Yippee Ki Yay" in Custer's Meadow inside Pease Park. It's tucked away just outside of the Shoal Creek Greenbelt.
