Ranger Welcome<br />
“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.”<br />
These are the words of the great naturalist and author John Muir,<br />
whose passion and dedication to the protection of wilderness places<br />
in the United States influenced the establishment of our very own<br />
national and provincial park systems.<br />
It is my pleasure as a park ranger to welcome people from near and far.<br />
Whether it is the serenity of watching the first light of day kiss the mist<br />
rising off still waters; or the excitement of seeing a majestic bull moose<br />
feeding in a wetland as you silently paddle by; or the laughter that<br />
flows from the pleasure of stories shared by friends and family around<br />
a campfire; these are only some of the many experiences offering<br />
“far more” to those discovering BC Parks.<br />
There is something unspoken in the joy of discovery that children find<br />
in the outdoors, as the secrets of nature are revealed to their curious<br />
minds; and no less the value to a man who has seen the seasons come<br />
and go through many years and still feels the thrill of a fish rising to the<br />
cast of his fly, like poetry in motion.<br />
From campgrounds to pristine lakes,<br />
wilderness canoe circuits and mountain<br />
hiking trails, British Columbia is home<br />
to an extensive range of magnificent and<br />
astonishing protected places.<br />
Come visit us and stay for awhile and enjoy<br />
your walk with nature.<br />

Tap Into Your Inner Explorer<br />
Majestic mountains, sweeping grasslands, towering forests, pristine<br />
lakes, luminous beaches and breathtaking waterfalls are just some of<br />
the spectacular natural areas protected by BC Parks for over 100 years!<br />
Nearly 20 million visitors annually experience everything from<br />
backcountry and marine exploration to full-service camping.<br />
With BC Parks’ online reservation system, Discover Camping,<br />
visitors can now reserve a specific campsite in over 90 provincial<br />
campgrounds, as well as reserve group campsites or picnic shelters.<br />
Discover Camping also has registration for backcountry permits.<br />
Whether family-oriented, like camping and geocaching, or more<br />
rugged, like backcountry hiking and rock climbing, recreational<br />
activities flourish alongside BC’s cultural and natural heritage.<br />
Historic artifacts and petroglyphs help unravel stories of our<br />
first cultures, while 10-million-year-old canyon walls or volcanic<br />
landscapes deliver incredible natural<br />
history lessons to all who visit.<br />
With 1000 <strong>parks</strong> and protected<br />
areas, BC Parks has an adventure or<br />
a vacation for everyone. So grab your<br />
camping equipment, hiking boots,<br />
fishing gear or picnic blanket and<br />
come experience these memorable<br />
places.
Jerry’s Promise<br />
BC Parks are very special places for kids (and grown-ups too),<br />
but above all for the plants and animals that live there. Jerry the<br />
Moose, BC Parks’ mascot, helps park visitors learn about ways<br />
they can keep <strong>parks</strong> healthy for all to enjoy now and into the<br />
future. Jerry asks park visitors to read and sign this promise:<br />
I, __________________________________________ , promise to<br />
(Name)<br />
1. help keep the <strong>parks</strong> clean<br />
2. respect that <strong>parks</strong> are homes for plants and animals<br />
3. be kind to other park visitors<br />
4. obey all park signs and rules<br />
5. have a great time in BC Parks!<br />

Every year BC Parks works with an outstanding network of<br />
volunteers who provide a broad range of valuable services -<br />
from trail maintenance to ecological monitoring, from<br />
Campground Host to Ecological Reserve Warden.<br />
Hundreds of individual volunteers and groups spend<br />
countless hours contributing to our world-class park<br />
system. By sharing their passion for <strong>parks</strong> with<br />
others, these dedicated individuals make a<br />
tangible difference in their communities.<br />

you can become one - on the BC Parks<br />

Canada’s Parks Day<br />
A day of celebration, park<br />
appreciation, and family fun is in store<br />
for visitors to BC Parks every year<br />
on the third Saturday of July.<br />
Canada's Parks Day celebrates the natural beauty of <strong>parks</strong> and<br />
reminds us of the important role <strong>parks</strong> play in conserving healthy<br />
and resilient ecosystems, and contributing to human health and<br />
well-being.<br />
Biodiversity walks, themed cultural hikes, kid's nature games,<br />
marine exploration, scavenger hunts and of course, a visit from<br />
our favourite park employee – Jerry the Moose – will be taking<br />
place across BC.<br />
This is a perfect time to get outside and spend a day immersed<br />
in nature, exploring and enjoying the wonder of BC Parks.<br />

Experience the largest salmon run in North America...<br />
visit Roderick Haig Brown Provincial Park<br />
“River-born fugitives, red-muscled under sheathing silver alive with ocean’s changing<br />
colours…” (Roderick Haig-Brown (1908 – 1976) conservationist, writer and angler).<br />
Plan a day trip to Adams River this fall!<br />
Be sure to pack up a lunch, hot drinks,<br />
blanket and chairs for a front row seat to<br />
watch nature’s spectacle of the crystal clear<br />
water transforming into brilliant streaks of<br />
red, silver and green. After spending their<br />
four-year lifespan in the Pacific Ocean, the<br />
time has come for the salmon to return<br />
up the Adams River to the stream of their<br />
birth site, thus completing their cycle of life.<br />
Witnessing their struggle is a moving event.<br />
You may also like to visit the interpretive<br />
centre, information tents or take a stroll<br />
and view the waterfalls while in the park.<br />
DID YOU KNOW?<br />
• Dominant salmon runs<br />
occur every 4 years.<br />
• 2014 is Adams River’s<br />
dominant run. 2015 is sub<br />
dominant with substantial<br />
returns of salmon.<br />
• Adams River is one of the<br />
largest salmon runs in<br />
North America with over a<br />
million fish.<br />
• It is a 17-day, 485-kilometre<br />
odyssey for salmon to<br />
return to Adams River.<br />
