Decorated elephant sculptures are set to appear across streets, parks and public spaces in Maidenhead, Windsor and Slough this summer.
Trunks Across the Thames, a Wild in Art event in aid of Thames Hospice will run from Monday, July 13 to Sunday, September 13.
The trail will invite visitors and residents to explore culture, art, and local landmarks, while getting the chance to see the decorated elephants.
The campaign raises funds for the Windsor Road hospice.
Shanly Homes and Sorbon Estates are participating in this year's campaign, and a Shanly Homes' sponsored elephant sculpture will be on display in Windsor town centre.
The sculpture, entitled 'Seasons Change' is created by artist Richard Phipson.
Inspired by nature's transformations, the design focuses on the rhythms of life and Berkshire's seasonal landscapes.
Toby Parkinson, sales director at Shanly Homes, said: "We’re delighted to be involved in the Hospice’s Trunks Across the Thames project.
"The Shanly Group has been a long-term supporter of the hospice, and it holds a special place in our hearts.
"This is a fantastic initiative, it not only raises funds and awareness of the hospice’s excellent work, but brings fun and joy to the local community."
The Sorbon Estates' sponsored sculpture will be on display in the Waterside Quarter in Maidenhead, amongst the existing public artworks.
The sculpture, entitled 'Never Forget' was designed by artist Katrin Gaska and reflects themes of connection, memory and the stories that shapes lives and communities.
Guy Thomas, asset and property manager at Sorbon Estates, said: "We’re pleased to be involved in the Trunks Across the Thames project and contribute pieces of art that celebrate both creativity and community spirit across Windsor and Maidenhead.
"This trail brings joy, curiosity and creativity to the heart of the Thames region and we’re honoured to be part of it and particularly, to support the important work of Thames Hospice."
