  • A Story from Seymour Mountain's History
    A story from Seymour Mountain’s history When you hike or snowshoe out to the bluffs we call Dog Mountain, do you stop at First Lake, look up and see the red cabin and wonder, “Why is it there? Who uses it? How do I get to it?” One day John Heinonen was talking about it with Louise Archibald, a librarian with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Imagine his surprise when she said, “My uncle and his friends built that cabin.” Her uncle, Edward Rayner, is now in his 80s and lives in Roberts Creek. John encouraged Louise to visit her Cabin on Seymour Mountain, circa late 1940s uncle to learn more about the cabin and its history. Louise has fond memories of the years when her family used to go for hikes and blueberry picking on Seymour Mountain. ”The hike to the cabin was a lot of fun with all the cousins and sometimes friends along too. In groups of up to 30 of all ages, we’d have simple picnics in and around the cabin with the little lake below it and the whiskey jacks begging for food. There were lots of places for kids to climb and it has such a gorgeous view, you always felt wonderful after a day like that.” Louise interviewed Uncle Ted on February 6, 2011. Here are his recollections. Ted started hiking up Seymour Mountain1 when he was 15 years old (about 1938). He and four friends around the same age, who all lived near each other in the Vancouver Heights2 area, would cycle to the bottom of the mountain near Deep Cove, hide their bikes in the bush and hike all the way up the mountain by trail.

    The Use of Alpine Habitats by Migratory Birds in B.C.

V6T 1Z4 phone: (604) 822-9695 fax: (604) 822-9102 email: [email protected] Report compiled by: Steve Ogle Cite as: Martin, K. and S. Ogle. 2000. The Use of Alpine Habitats by Migratory Birds in B.C. Parks: 1998 Summary. Unpublished report, Department of Forest Sciences, Univ. of British Columbia and Canadian Wildlife Service, Pacific and Yukon Region. 15 p. http://www.forestry.ubc.ca/alpine/docs/alpmig-2.pdf Background and objectives Our investigation is aimed at determining the relative importance of high-elevation habitats to migratory birds in southwestern British Columbia. Both altitudinal (moving upslope) and latitudinal (traveling south) migrant birds are thought to take advantage of abundant resources that occur in alpine habitats during late summer. This seasonal resource may play a significant role in the survival of many individuals of various species. Although many high-elevation habitats are protected in parks and reserves, climatologists believe that these areas could be adversely influenced by even minor climatic changes. In southwestern B.C., alpine areas form the headwaters of all major watersheds, and monitoring of avian abundance may help to model the health of downstream water resources. In general, little is known about the ecology of alpine and sub-alpine habitats and we hope that this study will broaden the understanding and awareness of these fragile ecosystems.
