Soils and Landscapes of the Front Ranges, Foothills, and Great Plains. Field Trip Guide. Canadian Society of Soil Science Annual Meeting, Banff, Alberta May 2014. 18 p. 2 3 Banff Park In the fall of 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.

  • Barrier Lake Reservoir the Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks
    Is it us, or has this been the strangest of winters, weather-wise? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis In this month's newsletter... Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails News from the Board: Creating volunteer opportunities for you Other News: The winter speaker series is back -- and so are the bears, plus a survey opportunity Kananaskis Special Places: Barrier Lake Reservoir The Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails by Nancy Ouimet, Program Coordinator We received fantastic news this week. The Calgary Foundation has approved a $77,000 grant to support our Rebuilding Kananaskis Country’s Interpretive Trails project. In partnership with Alberta Parks, the Friends of Kananaskis Country is working to replace interpretive signage that was damaged or destroyed by the 2013 flood. This is the first phase of a much larger initiative to refresh all interpretive trail signage; currently there are 32 official interpretive trails, and we are targeting refreshing 3 trails per year. The goal of this project is to foster a relationship between the visitor, the natural environment, and the flood affected area. This project will enhance visitor’s knowledge, thus positively influencing their awareness and understanding about the natural aspects of the site. More specifically, it will provide an opportunity to share the unique story of the 2013 flood, outline the environmental impacts at various natural sites, and highlight the community’s support and involvement in rebuilding Kananaskis Country. We are adopting an approach of fewer, but more engaging and effective, interpretive signs (4-6 signs) to reduce distractions and allow the site to speak for itself.

  • February Newsletter
    Winter continues to cover Kananaskis in a blanket of snow. Have you been out enjoying it? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis For the rest of 2013, the Friends Newsletter will feature wildlife camera photographs from Kananaskis Country. The photos were provided by John Paczkowski, the Park Ecologist for Kananaskis Country. Many of the photographs are part of research programs in the various areas of Kananaskis. The one above is a cougar attempting to steal a beaver carcass hung in a tree. These carcasses are used to attract and photograph wolverines, and the barbed wire you see allows collection of hair samples for DNA identity testing. If you have not met John, you should. He has spoken at several Friends events, and has one of the best jobs in the world, tracking wildlife movements in and around K-Country. Beside which, John's a great guy and we thank him for his generosity in supplying these photos. Trail Care 2013 Update By Rosemary Power, Program CoOrdinator With the spring just around the corner, we are looking ahead to our 2013 Trail Care season with TransAlta as the title sponsor for this years program. Thanks to you, our hard working volunteers, we will be providing trail maintenance and construction in a wide variety of locations in and around Kananaskis Country. As in previous years, our main trail work days will be the second Saturday of each month but additional days, both weekday and weekend, will likely be created. Work usually ranges from pruning back bushes growing alongside the trail, through to digging drainage channels, sawing logs (by hand) and splitting rock or moving boulders.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.
