"The latest work by internationally acclaimed environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy is tucked away in a quiet corner of Cornell’s Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary—a stone cairn standing sentinel beside the trail. Goldsworthy built the cairn out of locally quarried stone, assisted by Cornell students from a variety of programs....To find the Sapsucker Woods cairn, follow the Hoyt-Pileated Trail that begins across the road from the main entrance to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The cairn sits on the right, a few minutes’ walk down the trail. "
