We wanted to mark this special milestone with a project that involves the whole community and celebrates the beautiful island that has been home to Jersey Zoo and Durrell since 1959.” “I am so excited and proud to bring this incredible art trail to Jersey to celebrate our 60th anniversary. The self-guided trail will lead people on a journey of discovery, not only to see the gorillas themselves, but the nature in which they are placed.ĭr Lesley Dickie, CEO of Durrell commented on the launch of Go Wild Gorillas: These majestic and imaginative pieces of art have been uniquely created by artists, both local and international, to form a free sculpture trail that the whole community can enjoy this summer. Go Wild Gorillas is a spectacular art trail organised by Durrell in partnership with Wild in Art, consisting of 40 brightly-coloured, artist-imagined, life-size gorilla sculptures.
