This stone is dedicated to the story of the European wildcat:
Spread the word and move the stone!
The European wild cat (Felis silvestris silvestris) looks like a tabby house cat, but is heavier built. He also has a longer coat, plump, thick legs with sharp nails and a massive broad snout with long whiskers.
The wild cat is very shy. He lives solitary or in a couple. The cat usually stays true to one partner but spends a lot of time alone.
The wild cat is difficult to observe. Traces can not be distinguished with certainty from those of the domestic cat.
An area inventory can be done with photo traps (automatic cameras that respond to movement). In this way, research was done on the occurrence of the wild cat in the German Eiffel and in 2006 in the most South-Eastern point of the Netherlands. In one of the ninety places where a photo trap was installed in the woods, a wild cat turned up.
The European wildcat is was extinct in The Netherlands and Belgium. However, new the animals have been sighted recently in these countries. Via this stone I want to give this beautiful mammal extra attention.”
This stone started travelling on 2019-06-07.
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 traveling 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 traveling stones, starts in 2019 of 2020.
