FARMINGDALE, New Jersey (WPVI) -- If you travel to Monmouth County, New Jersey, you'll find a little magic hidden in the woods.

For the past few years, artist Robin Ruggier has been creating elaborate dinosaur sculptures out of sticks, branches, twine, and bones.

She says Allaire State Park has been her happy place.

Creating these dinosaurs has been a kind of therapy for her and the feedback she has received is amazing.
