Paleogeography, Land Forms and Soils of Glacial Lake Fraser 

Prince George, British Columbia, is located near the centre of what was one of the great late-Pleistocene ice sheets. During the waning phase of glaciation, temporary lakes formed against the wasting and retreating ice, leaving an enduring record of glacial, glaciolacustrine and glaciofluvial landforms. The largest known glacial lake in the central interior was glacial Lake Fraser. Shorelines of the lake have been mapped across the UNBC campus, making for a lake depth of up to 300 m at Prince George. Come join us and spend a day exploring the unique glacial geography of the Prince George region. This is the first opportunity to explore this ancient landscape since its reinterpretation by our tour guide. The tour will include visits to number of field sites in the vicinity and will stream georeferenced, high resolution, DEM data between stops to provide for a comprehensive perspective of the landscape.

Guides: Brendan Miller is a Research Soil Scientist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. He has been working, studying, and recreating in northern BC for 25 years. He has a BSc in Physical Geography from UBC, a MSc in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences from U.Alberta, and is a PhD candidate in Physical Geography at SFU. He is a Professional Geoscientist (Geotechniques) in BC and a Fellow of Geosciences Canada.

The Ancient Forest / Chun T’oh Whudujut Provincial Park

Come and spend the day snowshoeing in the Ancient Forest – BC’s newest park and the only inland temperate rainforest in the world. There are red cedar trees up to 5 metres in diameter and incredible biodiversity reflected in a range of fungi, mosses, and other plants. This fieldtrip will tell the story about the development of the trails and boardwalk system at the Ancient Forest, and eventually the efforts to establish this as a class A park. It is a story about volunteer and community capacity. Spearheaded by the Caledonia Ramblers Hiking Club, members worked with the McBride Community Forest, several other organizations, volunteers, and Katimivik youth from Quebec and New Brunswick (a total of 193 volunteers) to construct a universal boardwalk in order to make this unique area accessible to visitors with disabilities. We will be joined by Nowell Senior, who made over 400 trips and spent more than 5,000 hours over nine years on this initiative.
