BIG NEWS FROM THE FOREST!
They’ve wandered the world, and now they’re headed to the Adirondacks. TROLLS: Save the Humans, a larger-than-life temporary outdoor exhibit by acclaimed artist Thomas Dambo, opens at The Wild Center in June 2026—just in time for our 20th anniversary celebration!

Crafted from reclaimed wood and full of wild wisdom, these towering trolls are on a mission to help humans rediscover their connection to nature. As you explore the forest trails, you’ll encounter these gentle giants—each with a story, a message, and a whole lot of personality.

Wander the trails, meet the Trolls face-to-face, and uncover their playful messages about caring for the Earth. It’s a celebration of nature, imagination, and the wild spirit that’s guided us for two decades. wildcenter.org/trolls
