A bronze sculpture of an eagle taken last week from a Forsyth County recreational area is still missing.
The sculpture was located at the Bethelview Road trail head of the Big Creek Greenway multi-use trail in south Forsyth. Officials believe the sculpture was taken on Aug. 27 or 28.

The eagle sculpture is estimated to be approximately 6 feet tall, with an approximately 8-foot wingspan. It weighs approximately 400 pounds and was funded by a grant. The sculpture was installed at the trail head in April.
“This is the first time something of this nature has occurred at a Forsyth County park or recreational area,” said Jerry Kinsey, Parks and Recreation director. “It is certainly our hope that the sculpture will be returned.”
