The zone covers much of Vancouver Island, the Queen Charlotte Islands, and the Coast Mountains. It penetrates the coastal mountain barrier somewhat in major river valleys, especially along the Fraser and Skeena rivers. The CWH occupies elevations from sea level to 900 m on windward slopes in the south and mid-coast (1050 m on leeward slopes), and to 300 m in the north. The Mountain Hemlock zone is usually the subalpine zone above the CWH. ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS The CWH is, on average, the rainiest biogeoclimatic zone in British Columbia (Table 4). The zone typically has a cool mesothermal climate: cool summers (although hot dry spells can be frequent) and, like the Coastal Douglas-®r zone (CDF), mild winters (Figure 19). Mean annual temperature is about 8°C and ranges from 5.2 to 10.5°C among the CWH subzones. The mean monthly temperature is above 10°C for 4-6 months of the year. -
Stop of Interest Sign Inventory 2015 1 # Title Regional District Last Documented Location Text Year 1. B.C. Paper Manufacturing
# Title Regional Last Documented Text Year District Location 1. B.C. Paper Alberni- In front of pulp mill The first paper mill in BC was built on the Somass River in 1894. 1967 Manufacturing Co. Clayoquot at Alberni, BC. The small water-powered plant was able to produce 50 tons of paper a day using rags, rope and ferns as raw material. Inadequate equipment for handling wood, and a lack of rags forced the mill to close in 1896. Only the grinding stones in this monument remain to mark a pioneer industrial venture. 2. Grand Trunk Pacific Bulkley- 23 miles west of The last spike in Canada's second trans-continental railroad was 1966 Nechako Vanderhoof, 1 mile driven near this site on April 7, 1914. The Grand Trunk Pacific east of Fort Fraser became the most important factor in the development of Central British Columbia. However, financial problems plagued the company, forcing it in 1923 to amalgamate with the expanding Canadian National Railways system. 3. Overland Telegraph Bulkley- 3 miles east of Perry Collins, an American, envisioned a land route to link Nechako Burns Lake America and Asia by telegraph. All attempts to lay a cable across the Atlantic had failed. Western Union had completed 800 miles northerly from New Westminster in 1865-66, when the ocean cable was successful. The overland project was abandoned but the line to Cariboo remained. 4. Moricetown Bulkley- 20 miles west of This site, once the largest village of the Bulkley Valley Indians, Canyon Nechako Smithers later was named after the pioneer missionary, Father Morice. -
