SUMMARY:Meet the Faces of the Forest National Trails Day Self Guided Trail Walk

A 1-mile trail\, made up of both paved and natural surface\, and part of Pritchard Park\, a 34-acre park and open space adjacent to the Chapel Hill Public Library. \nInstalled on twelve trees scattered throughout Pritchard Park\, “Faces of the Forest” is designed to be explored at your own pace. Walking the trails to see all of the faces typically takes around 30–45 minutes. \n\nDownload the Map and make your plans for National Trails Day in Chapel Hill. \nThe clay faces and masks were created by Chapel Hill-based ceramic artist Levi Yakubu\, a fifth-generation Nigerian potter. The pieces were inspired by Yakubu’s Nigerian heritage and the storytelling traditions of West African ceramics. \nAs visitors walk the park trails\, they’ll encounter unexpected art and get acquainted with some of the native trees that make up our local landscape. \nLocation\nPritchard Park is 34 acres of rolling woodland in the middle of Chapel Hill and the site of Chapel Hill Public Library. \nPritchard Park\, Chapel Hill\, NC
