Recycled Art In the Landscape - The Chair Backed Turtle
One of the sculptures in the 2018 TRAIL, Chair Backed Turtle was created by The ReStore (Refurnish) Sculpture Group LinkExternal link . Using items which have been donated but they are unable to recycle and so would otherwise be bound for landfill or incinerated, volunteers and staff from The ReStore (ReFurnish) have created a sculpture to communicate how plastic pollution and discarded household items that are sent to landfill or burnt can have an effect on the environment and wildlife. In particular, highlighting the threat to Turtles through pollution and global warming.
