A heron has risen from the destruction left behind by a windstorm in a Kelowna Park.

After strong winds damaged a tree in Sarsons Beach Park, the City of Kelowna commissioned professional wood carver, Kamron Garbe to beautify the remaining stump.

After days of carving with a chainsaw under the sun, the tree trunk has been turned into a heron, complete with salmon around the base.
