At one time, the streets of Truro were lined with magnificent elm trees, but unfortunately, many of these trees were removed when they were infected with Dutch elm disease. The diseased trees, once cut down, were preserved into works of art and now have a new home along the Elm Tree Sculpture Walk. People can walk along this loop and marvel at these majestic sculptures that are a big part of the city’s history. The tree sculptures encompass the heritage, history, and culture of Truro and include the bearcat, the Truro hockey team’s mascot, and carvings of Truro's esteemed citizens.
