Westkanada Wildnislodge Discover Mietwagenrundreise 18 Tage Unterkunft: Hotel/Ranch/Cabin Schwierigkeitsgrad: Westkanada Wildnislodge Discover Eine Mietwagenrundreise ist die individuellste Art, die Naturschönheiten im Westen Kanadas zu erleben. Diese Reise führt sowohl zu den klassischen Naturattraktionen Westkanadas (Rocky Mountains mit Banff und Jasper Nationalpark, pazifische Westküste mit Inside Passage und Pacific Rim Nationalpark, die Metropolen Victoria, Vancouver und Calgary) als auch zu entlegenen und noch sehr ursprünglichen Wildnisgebieten zwischen den Coast Mountains und den Fjorden der Westküste. Einer der Höhepunkte dieser Reise ist sicherlich das Einfliegen mit dem Wasserflugzeug und der Aufenthalt auf der Tetachuck Wildnislodge. Die Lodge liegt am Tweedsmuir Provincial Park abseits aller Straßen und weitab der Zivilisation an den Ausläufern der Coast Mountains am Ufer des Tetachuck Lake und den Stromschnellen der Redfern Rapids. Ein unberührtes Stück kanadische Wildnis und die ideale Basis für erholsame und erlebnisreiche Tage in gemütlichen Blockhütten am See. Sicherlich unvergesslich bleibt auch der Aufenthalt auf der Terra Nostra Guestranch im Chilcotin - Kanufahren, Wanderungen in die umliegende Bergwelt und fakultative Reitausflüge stehen hier auf dem Tagesprogramm. Die überwältigende Natur lassen hier den Alltagsstress vergessen. Über den legendären Heckman Pass erreichen Sie auf einer der abenteuerlichsten Passstraßen Kanadas die Indianersiedlungen im Bella Coola Valley. Alljährlich ziehen hier Millionen von Lachsen die Flüsse hinauf (saisonabhängig). Grizzly Bären und Weißkopfseeadler sind zahlreich. Vom Bella Coola Fjord geht es dann mit dem Schiff durch die spektakuläre Discovery Passage nach Vancouver Island und der einzigartigen Inselwelt vor dem einzigartigen Pacific Rim Nationalpark. Herrliche Berg-, Küsten- und Regenwaldwanderungen, Indianerreservate, die Inselwelt der pazifischen Westküste und wildromantische Landschaften – der Westen Kanadas bietet eine Ursprünglichkeit und Echtheit, wie sie weltweit kaum mehr zu finden ist. Im Land der Bären, Elche und Wölfe, der Schwert- und Buckelwale, der Weißkopf- und Seeadler erleben wir die Wildheit von British Columbia und Alberta. Auf der Traumstraße der Welt durch die schönsten Berglandschaften im Banff- und Jasper Nationalpark und vorbei am Mt. Robson, dem höchsten Berg der kanadischen Rocky Mountains Aufenthalt auf der Terra Nostra Guestranch im Chilcotin - Möglichkeiten für Wanderungen, Kanutouren und für fakultative Reitausflüge Mit dem Wasserflugzeug an den Tweedsmuir Park und zur Tetachuck Wildnislodge Auf abenteuerlicher Bergstrecke über den legendären Heckman Pass zu den Lachsen und Grizzlies (saisonabhängig) im Atnarko und Bella Coola Valley Mit dem Schiff durch die Fjorde an der wilden Westküste zwischen Bella Coola und Port Hardy auf Vancouver Island und von Swartz Bay über die Strait of Georgia in die Weltstadt Vancouver Walbeobachtungstour zu Orcas, Buckel- und Grauwalen und Wanderungen im Pacific Rim Nationalpark (fakultativ) Calgary, Victoria und Vancouver – multikulturelle Weltmetropolen TRAILS Natur- und Erlebnisreisen Telefon +49(0)831-15359 [email protected] www.trails-reisen.de Reisezeitraum: 01.

Tag: Ankunft Calgary, British Columbia Die Rodeostadt Calgary am Bow River bietet sich hervorragend als Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung der Naturschönheiten Westkanadas zwischen dem überwältigenden Gebirgszug der Rocky Mountains und den unberührten Küstenwäldern der pazifischen Westküste an. Ursprünglich ein befestigtes Fort an der Transcanada Railroad am Bow River hat sich Calgary zu einer rasant wachsenden Metropole entwickelt – Hotelübernachtung. 2.-3. Tag: Banff Nationalpark / Rocky Mountains / Alberta (F) Schon von Weitem sehen Sie bei gutem Wetter die Bergriesen der Rocky Mountains. Nach kurzer Fahrt erreichen Sie Banff mit dem ältesten Naturschutzgebiet Kanadas. Die Bergkette der Rocky Mountains zählt zu einer der schönsten Naturlandschaften Nordamerikas und bietet eine unvergleichliche landschaftliche Vielfalt, die noch jeden Besucher beeindrucken konnte. Hier leben Elche, Schwarzbären, Grizzlies, Wapitis und Wölfe schon seit über 100 Jahren geschützt und deshalb ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit sehr groß, die Wildtiere Kanadas beobachten zu können. Der See Lake Louise liegt mit seinem riesigen Schlosshotel so malerisch vor der Traumkulisse der Rocky Mountains, dass er als eines der schönsten Fotomotive der Welt gilt. Es bleibt genügend Zeit um während einer Wanderung die wilde Schönheit der Rockies zu erleben. Schneebedeckte Gipfel, glasklare Flüsse und Seen, Wälder und malerische Wasserfälle bieten herrliche Landschaftsbilder – 2 Hotelübernachtungen in Banff. Fahrstrecke: 130 km 4.-5. Tag: Jasper Nationalpark / Rocky Mountains / Alberta Der Icefields Parkway bringt Sie zum größten Gletscherfeld der Rockies, dem Columbia Icefield mit einer Eisfläche von 325 qkm. Mit schöner Aussicht führt diese Panoramastraße an Felsformationen vorbei zu den Athabasca-Wasserfällen. Die Umgebung des Jasper Nationalparks bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Aktivitäten, z.B. Wanderung durch den Maligne Canyon oder am herrlichen Maligne Lake, Möglichkeit für eine ca. 90-minütige Bootfahrt (fakultativ, ca. CA$ 67,-) nach Spirit Island auf dem Maligne Lake – 2 Übernachtungen in gemütlichen Cabins im Jasper Nationalpark Fahrstrecke: 290 km 6. Tag: Tag: Wells Gray Provincial Park (F) Vorbei am Mt.

CA$ 100,-). Übernachtung in einem gemütlichen Gästehaus. Fahrstrecke: 347 km 7.-8.Tag: Terra Nostra Guestranch (F/ML/A) Die Fahrt geht weiter in Richtung Westen und Sie passieren riesige Ranches im Cariboo. Nach einem kurzen Zwischenstopp in der Rodeostadt Williams Lake an der Goldgräberroute zum Klondike fahren Sie auf der legendären „Freedom Route“ und überqueren den mächtigen Fraser River, der sich hier tief durch herrliche Canyonlandschaften schlängelt. Vorbei an Indianerreservaten erreichen Sie das Chilcotin Hochplateau und damit eine der entlegensten und ursprünglichsten Gegenden Westkanadas. Tourismus ist hier Nebensache und die Menschen versuchen von Viehzucht und Forstwirtschaft zu leben und den Naturgewalten in dieser rauen Wildnis zu trotzen. Die Bewohner sind ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit und Sie erleben ein wildes, aber wunderschönes Stück echtes Kanada. Für zwei Tage wird die herrlich in den Coast Mountains gelegene Ranch ein unvergleichliches Naturerlebnis bieten. Der spielerische Umgang mit den wundervollen Pferden im Einklang mit der Natur ist Balsam für die zivilisationsgestresste Seele. Eine ideale Basis für Reitausflüge (fakultativ, ca. CA$ 70,- /2 Stunden), Kanutouren oder Wanderungen in die umliegende Bergwelt.

  • Phylogeography of the Prickly Sculpin (Cottus Asper) in North‐Western North America Reveals Parallel Phenotypic Evolution Acro
    Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2015) 42, 1626–1638 ORIGINAL Phylogeography of the prickly sculpin ARTICLE (Cottus asper) in north-western North America reveals parallel phenotypic evolution across multiple coastal–inland colonizations Stefan Dennenmoser1,2*, Arne W. Nolte2, Steven M. Vamosi1 and Sean M. Rogers1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University ABSTRACT of Calgary, Calgary AB T2N 1N4, Canada, Aim Glacial cycles during the Pleistocene may have frequently contributed to 2Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary parallel evolution of phenotypes across independently evolving genetic lineages Biology, 24306 Pl€on, Germany associated with separate glacial refugia. Previous studies based on morphology suggested that the prickly sculpin (Cottus asper) survived the Last Glacial Maxi- mum (LGM) in southern coastal and inland refugia, favouring allopatric diver- gence between coastal and inland prickling phenotypes, which vary in the degree to which spine-like scales cover the body of the fish. Herein, we aimed to test whether parallel evolution across multiple genetic lineages rather than a single-lineage origin of highly prickled inland sculpins could serve as an expla- nation for the biogeographical distribution of prickling phenotypes. Location North-western North America, Southeast Alaska and Canada (British Columbia). Methods We used data from mitochondrial haplotypes and 19 microsatellite loci to identify distinct genetic lineages as a basis to interpret patterns of phe- notypic evolution. Results The occurrence of multiple mtDNA groups suggests that highly prick- led inland phenotypes comprise more than one genetic lineage. Both mtDNA and microsatellite data are consistent with post-glacial dispersal along the coast and repeated coastal to inland colonization events, as opposed to inland dis- persal of a single lineage from a southern refugium to northern regions.

  • Doug Wilson's
    Doug Wilson’s - Submission to the New Prosperity Mine Review 21 September 2012 Douglas W. Wilson September 21, 2012 Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency 22nd Floor, Place Bell 160 Elgin Street Ottawa ON K1A 0H3 Dear Commission Re: Submission Regarding the New Prosperity Mine Project Although retired, as a long term resident of the Cariboo/Chilcotin Central Coast area of British Columbia I have a great interest in the economic opportunities that the development of the New Prosperity Mine would have within the Cariboo/Chilcotin Central Coast area of British Columbia. I see this mine development providing long term employment directly and indirectly for hundreds and possibly thousands. While I support the New Prosperity project, I believe it is our responsibility as Canadians to insure that such development meets and maintains stringent environmental standards. If these standards can be maintained and enforced, couple this with the actual record of Taseko Mines, and the Gibraltar/ McLeese Lake operation, in existence since the early 1970’s, Taseko Mines have shown great respect for the environment, and it is with this experience also coupled with Federal and Provincial environmental regulations that I support the development of the New Prosperity Mine Development. Regarding those that are against the development of this mine, I find the people called Xeni Gwet’in and the people called Chilcotin to be truly wonderful people with reasonable dreams and aspirations. It is cultural differences and community life styles where conflict seems to rest between dreams and aspirations. The world is in a continual state of change young Xeni Gwet’in and Chilcotin native people; in an increasing awareness of the things of the world are also having an increasing desire to have the things of the world.

  • History of the Provincial Forest Inventory Program
    A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA PROVINCIAL FOREST INVENTORY PROGRAM* PART TWO THE POGUE ERA: 1940 - 1960 Written by ROBERT E. BREADON “Too bad it isn’t morning, so we could fly at ‘er again!” Mickey Pogue et al. MAY 2017 THE ORIGINAL WORK WAS COMPLETED IN 1995 © Forest History Association of British Columbia, Victoria, B.C. *This version contains some changes made to the final edit by Jacy Eberlein, who digitized and created this file in July 2014 using a printed copy lent by Bob Breadon. Formatting, design and additional editing were carried out by John Parminter in 2016 and 2017. ii INTRODUCTION In 1991, while gathering material for articles on the early history of the Research Branch of the B.C. Forest Service, I began to realize that many old-timers of the 1920s and 1930s were still active and alert. I also discovered that several had worked in both the research and forest surveys divisions. A little more digging indicated that there were still around 30 survivors who had worked in forest surveys during the pre-war period. I felt that it would be worthwhile for someone to interview these old-timers, and preserve a record of their experiences in the B.C. Forest Service while the opportunity still existed. I discussed the matter with Dave Gilbert, Director of the current Resource Inventory Branch, and he concurred. He also felt that any history project of this nature should cover events right up to the present time. I then commenced to seek a volunteer to write the next section of the project.
