The idea of Log Book Park, developed from artist Glenn Greenside's deep appreciation and concerns for our rich forest heritage here in British Columbia.

 People are always amazed with big trees and we know that they are becoming scarcer as time goes on.  Glenn's latest concept is a way of preserving and enhancing the presence of these trees through his art

   Glenn will create a collection of 14 Giant Wooden Books, which will depict the history of our West Coast Forests.  Each log will be first cut in half and then stood on end to represent the cover of each opened book.  Carved relief images and words will turn massive laminated wood panels into the pages of these BC Forest History Books.  Each book will be protected with a wooden roof, designed to symbolize the flowing canopy and branches of a tree.

 This collection is only Phase I of this exciting project that will develop into a "Forestry Theme Park" located in the Squamish District. Some of the other attractions will include a 500 seat outdoor amphitheatre that will host both, exhibitions and training sessions for Loggers Sports, Native Dance, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, Kayaking and more....
