Conservator Andrew Todd and his team are nearing the end of the conservation treatment of the Playground of the Gods phase 2. These before and after photos of the bear show the removal of lichen and consolidation of soft areas (especially on the tip of his nose). A new zinc cap will be installed to protect the end grain of the wood and keep water and debris out of the long cut on the bear's shoulder. The conservation team will apply a water repellent and pest inhibitor to protect the poles.
