“Wolf Sculpture
ROCKY BARSTAD & LORNE EADIE, MID 1990

In 1893, railway station agent C. T. Lewis rounded up a crew to transplant cottonwood saplings around the first High River train station that was located here. Three leftover trees were transplanted on the southwest side of the station. In the mid 1990s, the tree was diagnosed with a disease and designated for the chopper.

Part of it was saved when local artists Rocky Barstad and Lorne Eadie created and carved the wolves.”
