Forest of Dean Sculpture Trust CIO

The Forest of Dean Sculpture Trust CIO (FODST) is a registered charity that commissions sculptures for the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail at Beechenhurst, a Forestry England site. The unique heritage and environment of the Forest of Dean has inspired the creation of around 50 temporary and permanent sculptures on the trail since 1986, as well as film, poetry and photography projects, and artist residencies. In partnership with Forestry England, we have worked with emerging and world-renowned artists to establish a vital cultural resource that connects with local and global communities and contributes to the thriving arts ecology of southwest England.
