Newfoundland & Labrador Heritage Tree

mm037
   In 1999, as part of a celebration for the Canada Winter Games which were being held in Newfoundland that year, a 417 year old, 65 foot cedar tree was cut in British Columbia and shipped to Steady Brook where artists Bernard Benoit, Scott Butt, Colin Mahoney, and Norman Young carved 50 figures and scenes depicting Newfoundland and Labrador history.

  The tree is in a small park at the edge of the Marble Mountain ski resort parking lot. Wheelchair users may not be able to get a close look because there isn’t a good path across the grass.

  The lot is large enough for any RV.   Tree
