- Banff April 26/43 [1943]
Spray range on valley floor is being used

Met warden E. [Ernest] Stenton.
April 27/43. [1943]
Today drove 15 miles up the Cascade with
warden Ernest Stenton. The weather was bright
+ warm after a night temperature of 14 [degree symbol] F [Fahrenheit].
For the first 9 miles the road passes through
a narrow timbered valley with some
small birch-willow muskegs in
the bottom it then opens out into
a broad valley, largely burned over
+ extends thus to the head of the Cascade
+ the head of the Cutbank + Stony rivers.
We proceeded along the Cascade to the cabin
on the Cuthead a short distance above the
confluence of the two creeks. The valley
bottom supports an open stand of white
or Engl. [Englemann] Spruce with Shepherdia the dominant
shrub on drier areas + willow + birch
dominants in the lower, more moist
places. Scattered Potentillas + Populus trich. [trichocarpa]
+ lots of bearberry complete the shrub flora
On the benches pines predominate. The
west slopes (on east side) support grassy
slides together with stands of young
poplar (aspen) + it was on these that
the game is now concentrated. The snow
in the valley bottom was deep during
