Tree Spirits of St. Simons Island
On a leisurely stroll along the meandering footpaths of St. Simons Island, an ocean breeze and the spirits of trees fill the air. The centuries-old live oaks, shrouded in Spanish moss and mystery, carry the weathered faces of Tree Spirits. These enigmatic faces hide between limbs, peek out from massive trunks, and gaze at admirers from the remnants of fallen branches. Artist Keith Jennings spent hours carving each curious face, attributing the art to the spirit of the tree. Plan a playful scavenger hunt using a map from the St. Simons Island Welcome Center.
