Two large Totem Poles depicting indigenous species to these woods are being carved and installed this first week in Aug. Chain saw carving by Roger Day has created the impressive entrance feature to the Wildart Trail.

There have been a few months now since these totem poled were installed and they are changing colour or 'nicely weathering in' I heard someone say. They are amongst autumn colours now and look more integrated with their souroundings. It will be interesting for me to see them through the seasons. I am already wondering what it will be like when there are no leaves on the trees? The changing light conditions effect them as well and the do constantly change.
