The Nest sculpture erected by Hannes Windgate in 2018 at the top of Spring Garden Park is in a time of transition as it nears the end of its maintanence contract with the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC). To ensure broad community participation in collecting input on ideas for the future of The Nest, the MNA is distributing a brief online comment form.
The two upcoming volunteer events (4/25 & 5/22) will feature bamboo replacement at The Nest sculpture. These are the final two events of this sort involving the assistance of the RACC. Community input from the form will be summarized and presented to Portland Parks 4/25, 5/22 (and potentially beyond).
We invite you to fill out the form and assist in distributing the form link widely to the Park community, if you can!
