Support Us!

The Haliburton Sculpture Forest was created in 2001 by an inspired group of volunteers who had a vision of creating a unique destination in Haliburton that combines art, nature, recreation and education.

With over 40 sculptures and one-of-a-kind benches, and over 40,000 visitors each year, the ongoing success of the Haliburton Sculpture Forest is made possible through the generosity of donors.

Your contribution goes a long way by helping to fund the operation of the Sculpture Forest (insurance, printing guide maps, maintenance, marketing, curatorial fees), adding to our Sculpture collection or helping us build our Endowment Fund.
