Treen Exhibit

You won't find this word in your dictionary! Even the 1930 Oxford dictionary lists it as obsolete. "Treen" is an old English word meaning "of a tree"; an object made of wood. To truly be a treen it must also have a function, so carvings don't count. Nor does furniture - too many parts. In a way, many of the exhibits you will find throughout the Discovery Centre are treens.

The Treen Exhibit presents a very small fraction of the collection of William Klynn, bequeathed to the BC Forest Discovery Centre in 2003
