This stone is dedicated to the European mink:
Spread the word and move the stone!
Minks live along slowly flowing water of e.g. wetlands, streams and rivers. The mink makes its nest or hollow in the bank of the river, but also under tree roots, in crevices in rocks or under wood piles. Sometimes he uses old dens of the rat or muskrat which he digs out further. He also sometimes kills muskrats or rats and then takes possession of the den. The nest for the young is covered with grass, feathers, fur or other soft material.
The European mink is extinct in The Netherlands and Belgium. The mink is critically endangered in France and Spain. Via this stone I want to give this beautiful mammal extra attention.”
This stone started travelling on 2019-04-12.
Besides the travelling stones, there are also “resting stones” with stories, placed on the trail. Together all these stones form the international art routes.
Click here for more info on the routes.
Did you take the travelling stone? And do you want to leave it on a new location, so it can continue it’s journey? Click here.
This art project wants to pleasantly surprise hikers through miniature art. A second goal is to initiate a new form of communication and awareness,through art and social media. The participant and I are looking forward for your story or response on this stone! (possibly with photo)
The next art project, with a route of resting and travelling stones, starts in 2019 of 2020.

The miniature, message and location.
This stone is dedicated to the European mink:
“The European mink (Mustela lutreola) is part of a series travelling miniature stones depicting endangered or vulnerable animals in Europe. I want to bring attention to these special animals through this art project.
