The Willow storytelling trail connects local history, art, and community in a meaningful way. All participants gain value from connection with a heritage craft, contributing to the biodiversity of the local area and gaining new skills.
The sculptures on this trail have been made by various community members with the support of willow artist Elaine Feely.
RECHARGE is a project funded by the European Union’s HORIZON Europe programme.
