GAME LOCATION
Did You Know?
Chainsaw carving has become one of the most distinctive art forms associated with the community of Hope. Beginning in the 1980s, local artists transformed tree stumps left behind after downtown redevelopment into detailed wooden sculptures. Over time, these carvings became a signature attraction, depicting wildlife, historical figures, Indigenous themes, and scenes connected to the region’s forestry heritage. Today, dozens of chainsaw carvings can be found throughout the town, creating an outdoor gallery that visitors can explore year-round. The carvings showcase remarkable skill, turning ordinary cedar and fir trunks into lasting works of art that celebrate Hope’s culture, history, and natural surroundings.
