David Rogers’ Big Bugs: The Pollinators has landed at Klehm Arboretum in Rockford for a three-month stay! The exhibit can be seen from now until September 10th, 2023.
The Big Bugs: The Pollinators exhibit consists of ten larger-than-life sculptures made from reclaimed wood and other natural materials. These ten sculptures are placed on a 1-mile walking path that starts at the Visitor Center.
When you arrive, pick up a map from the Visitors Center and see the first sculpture inside. Follow the path to check out the other nine sculptures and pick a favorite! We loved the spider on the web.
Throughout the summer, there will be events geared around pollinators including educational activities and programs! You can see a list of upcoming events at Klehm here.
