The oneTree Exhibition at the Robert Bateman Centre

 

For almost a century, this old growth Bigleaf Maple from the Cowichan Valley stood witness to events that helped shape Vancouver Island. It needed to come down in October for health and safety reasons.

46 artisans have been selected to celebrate this tree by creating pieces from its wood. The selected pieces will be part of an exhibit at the Robert Bateman Centre November 2015 until January 2016
