An anonymous donor and the Wyoming Cultural Trust paid $45,000 for the artwork. While the purpose of the sculpture was not meant as a political statement, it was created in the hopes that it would prompt those that viewed it to have conversations about the important topic of climate change. Scientists have indicated that climate change has caused a pine beetle infestation which has destroyed over three million acres of the lodgepole pine forest area in Wyoming.
