Forest Hart Unveils ‘Bear Tracks’ Bronze Statue at Houlton’s Riverfront Park

The sculptor Forest Hart presented the residents of Houlton, with a life-size bronze bear statue - and you won’t believe how much it weights!

At a recent ceremony Hart donated 'Bear Tracks' sculpture, fourth of 12, to Houlton's Riverfront Part. He said that he doesn't have any intentions of removing the statue and it can stay at the park for as long as people want it there.

‘This is a nice place and there are wonderful people here. I also lived in the area for five years,’ Hart said.

The 350-pound ‘Bear Tracks’ is on display now just in time for the first Harvest Festival. The festival will celebrate the end of the harvest season with kid activities, food, crafts, and music.

Hart is nationally-renowned artist who specializes in sculpturing life-size animals. He has pieces on display around the county at various museums, parks, and organizations.
