1. Flow & Fauna Marker
Carved by Larry Wildenstein of Wild Wood Sculptures in 2025.
Designed primarily by Sadie Nahman, with additional inspiration from
Bodie B., Mary Evans, Heather Shaeffer, and Kristine Wasco.
Fiscally sponsored primarily by Pike/Wayne Association of Realtors,
with additional fiscal support from Kevin Kundratic, Derek Williams,
Meagher Insurance Agency, JoAnn Wasco, Christine Davis, and Cynthia Stewart.
This installation was carved from the trunks of two beloved sugar maple trees after removal became necessary for park safety. The trunks were left to preserve the living root structure of the declining maples, as the neighboring trees were critically dependent on their network. This project illustrates what can be possible when we act with awareness to the interconnectedness of all life.
A collaborative effort between Honesdale Borough, The Wayne County Arts Alliance, Known Grove Sacred Land Stewardship, and the Wayne County Community Foundation laid the groundwork for this project. Through a placemaking process spearheaded by Lisa Glover, over 500 Honesdale community members then worked together-sharing designs, voting on finalists, and painting the carvings-to turn the idea into reality.
