Creator Transcript
  • Banff. Alta. [Ablerta] June 2/43.[1943] Arrived yesterday. weather bright but during the night it rained heavily + snow to a depth of 1 1/2" fell at 100' above the town. Rain intermittently all today. Today drove down the fire road paralleling the Bow on the s [south] side of the valley. Distance from Banff to Massive about 11 miles. The first part of the road passes through a burn grown up to heavy jack pine then it parallels some beaver meadow with numerous willow clumps. At about the half way point it passes through some heavy pine + spruce woods + alongside several Black spruce muskegs. For the last 3-4 miles the country becomes aspen-pine + finally aspen parkland close along the river. The vegetation around a small pond in the jack pine burn exhibited several clumps of willow browsed about 80%. The same intensity of utilization obtained in the beaver meadows + in both the willow was holding its own but not fruiting appreciably A heavy young stand of Rosa [underlined] on a road embankment was used about 20% + showed little or no die off.
