100 life-sized elephant sculptures are coming to Boston. This summer, The Great Elephant Migration transforms the tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue Mall into a walkable outdoor gallery, with the herd spread between Fairfield and Arlington Streets in the heart of Back Bay.

Each elephant is hand-carved from dried lantana root, an invasive weed, by Indigenous artisans from India's Nilgiri Hills, and modeled after real, named elephants who share their landscape with those communities. The exhibit is a global fundraising initiative that channels proceeds toward human-wildlife coexistence projects and the protection of migratory species worldwide.

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this newsletter!

As a member of our international community, you are an invaluable part of a continuing story of science research in Woods Hole which began in 1888 (WHOI in 1930) by scientists who left their distant homes to live and work here. Without you continuing to build upon this expression of leadership and discovery, Woods Hole as an international center for scientific excellence and education would be a very different place.

Need help navigating things in your new home?

Even for those of us from here, living in New England can sometimes be complex.
We can assist you with your questions
and finding helpful resources within the community:
