The Daily Herald reports the trolls, including the very visible one from I-88, will begin being dismantled after Sunday.

Artist Thomas Dambo was inspired to create "Troll Hunt" by Scandinavian folklore and his love of the wilderness. It took him and a crew seven weeks to construct the trolls on the arboretum's grounds. Around 360 wooden pallets and 84,000 screws were used to create the trolls.

The trolls are believed to be the reason for record-setting attendance in recent years.
