Thomas Dambo Trolls “The Tree Thieves Tour”

Thursday, October 15th

Osborne Nature Center - Reservations Required

Osborne’s Next Older, Wiser, Livelier, Souls (OWLS) Tour will be on Thursday, October 15th. October’s destination will be a trip to Clinton, Iowa. Please meet at Osborne Park at 9:00 to carpool there.

Join us for a trip to Clinton in search of the Thomas Dambo Trolls called “The Tree Thieves”, the locations include the Arboretum, the Sawmill Museum, and The Depot. These larger-than-life sculptures from reclaimed wood are awe-inspiring. The Trolls are named after three brothers who once lived and farmed in the Clinton area, Helmut, Marvin, and Warren. The trip promises to be a fun adventure for those who love art, whimsy, history and scavenger hunts. Clues at each sculpture will help find a 4^th hidden sculpture called “Enchanted Branches.”

Join us the 3rd Thursday of each month, March through November, for O.W.L.S., Older Wiser Livelier Souls. Each month will feature a new destination, so join us as we explore some of the interesting places Iowa has to offer.

The Osborne Center is located on Highway 13, ten miles north of Strawberry Point or five miles south of Elkader. The center is open from 8:00am to 4:00pm daily, noon-4:00 on Sunday. Please call 563-245-1516 for more information or visit www.claytoncountyconservation.org.
