  • Wells Gray Park
    reconnaissance and preliminary recreation plan wells gray park by c.p. lyons Parks Section forest economics division b.c. Forest Service – 1941 – Reference No. p41 General file: 0135867 preface Wells Gray Park is an outstanding potential recreational area; it has remarkable scenic attractions as well as exceptional fishing, big game hunting and wilderness area possibilities. The Park is located about 100 miles north of Kamloops in the Kamloops Forest District and is accessible by the Caribou and North Thompson River regions. The proper development of this area as a Provincial Park depends upon planned recreational management in order to adequately provide for present and future use. With this objective in mind, a reconnaissance of the Park was made in 1940 by Mr. C.P. Lyons, whose report and preliminary recreation plan is herein detailed. Sufficient information is now available to introduce planned management but it is still necessary to make further investigations before extensive developments take place. For the time being commercial lodge and campsite privileges on Crown land should be restricted to a minimum and, if possible, confined to guides of hunting and fishing parties who now make use of the Park. It would be particularly advisable to limit locations for commercial enterprises to the specific regions detailed in this report and to stipulate a maximum value for construction and development work. By so doing adjustments could be more easily made to suit any detailed management plan which may be prepared in the future. Existing private use on Crown land should be brought under a permit system and there is no reason why expansion in this direction should not be encouraged.

  • A Second Annotated Checklist of Vascular Plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and Vicinity, British Columbia, Canada
    A second annotated checklist of vascular plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and vicinity, British Columbia, Canada Version 1: April, 2011 Curtis R. Björk1 and Trevor Goward2 ENLICHENED CONSULTING LTD. Box 131, Clearwater, BC, V0E 1N0, Canada [email protected], [email protected] Vascular Plants in Wells Gray SUMMARY Wells Gray Provincial Park is a vast wilderness preserve situated in the mountains and highlands of south-central British Columbia. The first major floristic study of the vascular plants of Wells Gray and its vicinity was published in 1965 by Leena Hämet-Ahti, who documented 550 taxa, including a first Canadian record of Carex praeceptorium. The present study contributes nearly 500 additional taxa documented by us between 1976 and 2010 in connection with our personal explorations of the Clearwater Valley. The vascular flora of Wells Gray Park and vicinity now stands at 1046 taxa, including 881 native species and 165 species introduced from Eurasia and other portions of British Columbia. Wells Gray Park is notable both for the presence of numerous taxa (45) at or near the northern limits of their range, as well as for an unexpectedly high number of taxa (43) accorded conservation status by the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre. Antennaria corymbosa has its only known Canadian locality within Wells Gray, while five additional species reported here are known in Canada from fewer than six localities. About a dozen unknown, possibly undescribed taxa have also been detected. Botanical inventory has thus far been confined to the southern portions of Wells Gray. Future studies in northern half of the park will certainly greatly increase our knowledge of the biological diversity safeguarded in this magnificent wilderness preserve.

Mushbowl Falls, one of the 39 named falls throughout Wells Gray Provincial Park OUR STORY It’s where the Murtle and Clearwater Rivers roar and wildlife sightings are as common as sunrise and sunset. There’s room to breathe and to dream. he place you imagine is Wells Gray, Tcomprising the mountain communities centered around Clearwater on the North Thompson River and Wells Gray National Park — 5,250 square kilometres (3,262 square miles) of alpine wilderness, borne from volcanoes and carved by glaciers. One of the most unique landscapes in all of B.C., where your days are measured in vertical feet, wildlife sightings and the number of waterfall shots on your camera. It’s here, among old-growth interior rainforests and soaring mountain peaks that you’ll find serenity paddling Murtle Lake, North America’s largest canoe-only lake. A place where wildlife is so accessible you can watch in wonder as bears graze just meters away, where you can be drawn into the forest by the thunder of Helmcken Falls, and hike through a kaleidoscope of colour in the wildflower meadows of the Trophy Mountains. Clearwater is your staging ground for pure wilderness adventures… camping, hiking, white-water rafting, canoeing or touring; by car, on foot, or from high in the saddle… ... in the Canada you imagined.

  • Canada's First Mountain Helicopter Rescue
    CANADA’S FIRST MOUNTAIN HELICOPTER RESCUE SEPTEMBER 23, 1950 The Vancouver Sun Nanaimo Daily News (Sept. 25) 1 Recently Uncovered Mountain Rescue This recently uncovered event was possibly the first mountain rescue by helicopter in Canada. News of the rescue was broadcast over the radio and made newspapers across Canada. At the time, television broadcasting was only just beginning and very few people had TVs, but most everyone had radios. According to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa Ontario, "It seems that you have uncovered Canada's first mountain helicopter rescue. We could not find other similar events that dated further back". Albert David Flowers was working as a Forestry Lookout-man on a remote mountain in Wells Gray Park (along with his son Gerald). It was a two-day trek to get there and that’s already from a remote homestead. Albert was tasked with getting out daily weather and fire reports. While there, he suffered an injury to his right leg that got progressively worse, so they radioed for a medical evacuation. Pilot D. K. “Deke” Orr of Okanagan Air Services was called away while flying for a mining company operating high in the mountains south of Hope BC. He arrived in a Bell 47B-3 helicopter, (CF-FZX) to fly Albert to the Kamloops hospital for treatment. It was lucky that his son Gerald was with him to clear an area for the helicopter to land. With his bad leg, Albert could not have done it. Gerald had just turned 15 and took several pictures of the rescue.
