Challenging terrain elegantly tailored amongst serene majestic rocky mountains of British Columbia. Luxurious elegance of mahogany conjures memories of a rickety railcar along the golden trails of Craigella Chie, the place where the last spike was driven in 1885. British Columbia joined the confederation with the promise of a railroad that would connect the West with the rest of Canada.

1871: Hollow Tree’s 1871 series evokes the scents during an era of 1800s where the pioneers and prospectors trekked throughout British Columbia arriving from San Francisco on their way to the Klondike where tales of mountains of gold awaited them. Where lumberjacks toiled from dawn to dusk, and the Raven graced the skies as a ghost upon the forest floors, while Voyageurs paddled their canoes to Hudson Bay Forts with trading goods such as tobacco. This province was becoming what we know today, Beautiful British Columbia.

Nature Notes:

BC joined the confederation in 1871. Ushered in by our Father of Confederation: Amor De Cosmos, Amor negotiated that British Columbia would join the Dominion of Canada only if the Railroad was built to the Pacific Ocean. The Railroad was paramount and historical for the Dominion of Canada and it took 10 years to reach the Pacific Ocean. Amor was a pioneer in that he also created the first forestry, farming, and fisheries policies in 1872. Our first land-use and environmental policy.
