Glenn Greensides was born in Toronto Ontario, and settled in British Columbia in 1982.  Following a short career as a log home builder, he continued to use his chainsaw handling abilities to unleash a whole new talent. 

  In 1990 he set up a Demonstration Booth at the Prince George Forestry Exhibition during which time he met Paul McKenzie, the world famous loggers sports clown who introduced him to sales reps from Husqvarna Chainsaws.  Later that summer he was asked to demonstrate his carving skills  at the 1990 P.N.E.in Vancouver.

  Since that show, Glenn has solely supported himself through his artistic talent.  His works quickly went from coffee tables and gardens to massive monument for communities, businesses and resorts.  Inspired by large trees and the issues surrounding them, Glenn unlike most artists, has focused the theme of his art to promote and educate the positive sides of forestry in our province.  

  His first major project titled, "Tribute To The Forest" consists of a collection of 31 wood sculptures created from some of the most remarkable dead standing trees to be found in the province of B.C.  This towering collection located at Grouse Mountain, focused on the positive roles that humans play in our forest ecosystem through the aid of walking tours and signage. 

  In 1996 Glenn won a provincial competition known as "Beyond Boards" which was held by Forest Renewal, BC. and recognized Glenn's valuable use for oversized pulp grade Douglas Fir logs.
