Conservation One of Hope Mountain Centre’s purposes as a charitable organization is to conserve, protect and restore natural resources within Southwest British Columbia by facilitating and guiding environmental and land stewardship projects. Some of our key conservation projects are done through community education, monitoring and reporting of rare grizzly bear sightings in southwest BC, and water quality monitoring in the Skagit River watershed in the Canadian Cascade Mountains. Our conservation work, as with all Hope Mountain Centre activities, would not be possible without the help of our funders and dedicated volunteers. Thank you immensely to everyone involved.

Young Stewards of our Watersheds Grade 5 The banks of the Fraser River provide an outdoor classroom for this exploration of how water moves through our watershed. Students learn how watersheds capture, store, and release water through the seasons, and how humans and wildlife benefit from these natural forces. A hands-on stream table demonstrates the power of rivers in moving vast amounts of sediment, creating deltas, gravel bars, and salmon habitat. Contact us for more information about educational programs we can do for your group. Contact our Outdoor Educator Claire at cgrantham@hopemountain.org , or call/text 403-895-4121. Location : Watersheds of the Fraser and Skagit Rivers. Grade : 5 Curriculum Overview : Watersheds Program: learning outcomes, pre-trip, field trip, post-trip. CURRICULUM OVERVIEW Teacher Feedback: “Again the watershed project was very well organized. Always tricky working around dates but your group was very flexible . It meets the needs of all learners. I had a difficult class but they seemed to be engaged and on task for the most part. There was a lot of visual stuff and hands on stuff which was terrific.” “It was very well organized and the kids responded very well!” “The props that you use are fantastic. They really motivate the students.” “The water plant is a great tour. Students were able to see how the resource of water can be developed and shipped abroad. It also shows jobs available to them which ties into career education.” “Lessons were well designed. Different types of learning were involved (auditory, reading, interactive) which I thought was terrific. ” “The plant tour is quite fascinating. One of the kids mentioned it was like the tv show “How do they do that?” but only they were there to see it. The tour takes them from the pond station where they see the water flow rate to the whole process of what is involved. Kids are fascinated that a small test tube like device can transform into a flexible water bottle. My class this year said they really enjoyed the tour.”

The Gleaning Program is a volunteer-led community harvest program under Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning (HMCOL). Its purpose is to encourage and help local residents to pick fruit from trees, and use or redistribute the fruit preventing waste and reducing attracting wildlife, such as bears. Gleaning A volunteer-led community harvest program 1/8 The Gleaning Program is a volunteer-run community harvest program under Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning (HMCOL). Its purpose is to encourage and help local Hope residents to pick fruit from trees, and use or redistribute the fruit preventing waste and reducing attracting wildlife, such as bears. A share of the harvest goes to the resident, another share goes to the people who pick the fruit and the rest is donated to local organizations such as the food bank, school programs, or for animal feed. Want to help us pick fruit? Got fruit trees that need picking? Need fruit for your group or animals? GET INVOLVED by joining our email list below! Also consider joining our Facebook group . Program Objectives 1. Prevent negative human-bear interactions in the town of Hope by deterring bears in residential area fruit trees through removing ripe and rotten fruit which is a bear attractant, and; 2. Prevent waste of fruit. Other benefits include reducing other wildlife attraction in residential areas such as rodents and those that prey on them, increasing local food security by connecting residents to local food sources, and facilitating social volunteer activity. The gleaning program is limited to the District of Hope geographic boundary. This program began in 2011 when local Hope resident, Lydia Koot, worked with HMCOL to form the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee and managed this program until 2024. Since its inception, no bears have been shot in fruit trees in Hope—a huge success story. Under the Solid Waste Management Bylaw No. 1472, 2020, Section 6.1(u) of the District of Hope Bylaws , owners and occupiers must not keep attractants (like fruit, garbage, or organics) accessible to wildlife. Let’s continue working together to keep our community safe! For Residents with Fruit Trees Do you have a fruit tree? Apples, cherries, pears, plums, grapes, or quince - Having a crop of fruit can be great, but can also be overwhelming if you aren’t able to manage it. Fruit falls to the ground and spoils and can attract wildlife such as bears. Here are some things that you can do: When fruit is ripe: Clean up windfall often to prevent rotting. Put it out weekly in your green bin for pick-up or donate to local farms for animal feed. Pick your fruit if you are able, or you can post on local Facebook groups to invite people to pick your fruit. Or contact us for help! Register your tree with the Gleaning Program for volunteer picking: We ask that you ensure a safe space (no hazards, dog poop, or bee/wasp nests.) We will pick your tree, and share the harvest with you, the volunteers who pick, and local organizations such as the food bank, local schools, or for animal feed. Regular Tree care: Prune your tree annually to keep it a manageable size, typically in winter or early spring when the tree is dormant. Prune to remove dead, damaged and diseased branches, and open up space in middle. This can result in better quality fruit. Plant native, non-fruit bearing trees and shrubs if the fruit is unwanted or unmanageable. Keep yourself and the bears safe! Contact us at gleaning@hopemountain.org or sign up for our mailing list. Got Fruit Trees Join us as a Fruit Picking Volunteer! Pick a tree to save a bear! Help your community while enjoying the outdoors, and enjoy the literal fruits of your labour. A portion of each harvest goes to the volunteer pickers, the property resident, and local organizations. Fruit typically ripens from June to November, and it can include apples, cherries, pears, plums, grapes, and quince. Pole pickers are provided to reach the fruit, and we typically pick early morning or evening to avoid the heat. What to Bring: Water, gloves, hat, sunscreen, good footwear, and optionally, cardboard boxes, containers, or a rake (some are provided). Safety glasses are available, or bring your own to avoid falling debris in your eyes. If interested, fill out our Voluteer Registration Form or contact us for more information at gleaning@hopemountain.org, or join our email list . Volunteer Need Fruit? We've got a variety of fruit to give away including large quantities for community groups, food programs, farms, and more. Contact us at gleaning@hopemountain.org if you’d like fruit for your local organization or for animal feed. We will add you to our contact list to let you know when we have a surplus. About the Fruit It’s local and organic! Expect blemishes or imperfections, and it may be smaller than supermarket fruit, but it’s still edible and delicious. There are many great ways to use and preserve the fruit. Need fruit Join us to reduce bear attractants and food waste, and build community! Key Program Volunteers: Robyn Barker, HMCOL Board Chair – Gleaning Volunteer Coordinator Jennifer Rodney –Gleaning Coordinator Esther Brysch – Picker Coordinator/Team Leader Sign up for our emails, contact us at gleaning@hopemountain.org , and join our Facebook group to learn more and to get involved.

There is a picnic table and kiosk (big, wooden sign) with information about the trail at the trailhead. Here is the google map for the parking area and trailhead: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8PFPpUy5DYxaJexb6 The Nlaka’pamux (Thompson) First Nation has traveled this trail through the Fraser Canyon for thousands of years. It was used for hunting, trapping, plant gathering, and as a safe travel route that bypassed the sheer canyon walls at Hell’s Gate. Dramatic evidence of First Nations’ traditional use can still be seen along the trail today. The trail’s other name -- “First Brigade” -- refers to the trail’s brief history as an early fur trade route. The Nlaka’pamux shared their trail with the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), who used it to transport furs from Fort Kamloops to Fort Langley. “Brigades” of up to 400 horses and 50 men traveled this trail in 1848 and 1849 – the HBC’s first attempt at crossing the Cascade Mountains. Today, a 10-kilometer portion of the original trail is restored, giving hikers and overnight backpackers spectacular views of the historic Fraser Canyon. The trail climbs steeply from Highway-1 to the summit of Lake Mountain, where you can camp overnight. One of the earliest, snow-free backpacking trails at elevation in the region, this summit is usually snow-free in early to mid May. It is an intermediate level hiking trail on the tougher end of the category as a 12.5 km round trip with a cumulative elevation gain of 968 metres. Dogs are permitted on the trail, but please be responsible to ensure they are picked up after and do not wander off the trail to disturb wildlife or the surrounding habitat. There are no garbage cans or toilets at the trailhead. There is a nice picnic table that we installed in 2024 to enjoy. A pit toilet is available at the top at the camping area. Please practice Leave No Trace principles and pack out anything you pack in. Historic Background The Nlaka’pamux / First Brigade Trail is just one of many that once laced through the Fraser Canyon, connecting villages and fishing sites and also providing access to important food and medicine in the high mountains. The Nlaka’pamux traveled widely through a very large territory. This particular route headed directly from their village of Kequeloose up to Lake Mountain. From there, they could pass east to Nicola Lake (Merritt) and Kamloops, or north along mountain ridges to Boston Bar and Lytton. Along the trail, you can still find some of the traditional plants they gathered for food, medicine, clothing, and building materials. Culturally Modified Trees (CMTs) are visible along the trail, showing evidence that Redcedar bark was harvested here by First Nations many years ago. 1847 – Arrival of the Hudson’s Bay Company In 1847, a Nlaka’pamux chief named Pahallok met an employee of the Hudson’s Bay Company named Alexander Caulfied Anderson. Anderson needed help finding a route over the Cascades, to bring his fur-laden horse brigades to the Fraser River from Fort Kamloops. Pahallok met Anderson near Kequeloose and showed him one of his hunting trails, guiding him east over the top of Lake Mountain, and connecting with a long-established Indian horse trail along the Anderson River to Merritt and Fort Kamloops. Chief Pahallok and some of his men were later hired by Anderson to improve the Lake Mountain trail for horses, by building switchbacks and removing fallen timber. Anderson was the HBC Chief Trader tasked with finding a new route to the Pacific, and he succeeded with the help of Chief Pahallok and the Nlaka’pamux. The Hudson’s Bay Company was desperate to rescue their fur business in Western North America. For the previous 20 years, the HBC had been transporting valuable furs from their northern forts south to Fort Kamloops, then down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean and world markets beyond. However, the creation of the Canada/U.S. border in 1846 put the lower Columbia River into American hands. The HBC desperately needed a new, all-British route from Fort Kamloops to the Pacific Ocean. The Fur Brigade of 1848 The trail was ready to receive its first “Brigade” in the spring of 1848. In May, 400 horses left Fort Kamloops under the supervision of 50 men. This “outgoing brigade” carried furs destined for Fort Langley on the Fraser. The route over the Cascade Mountains proved to be very stressful for both horses and men. In the mountain sections, there was little forage for the horses besides pine needles and cedar branches. The horses were weak and starving by the time they reached the Fraser River at Kequeloose (Alexandra Lodge). The brigade continued down the east bank of the Fraser, swam across the river at Spuzzum, then continued down to Fort Yale via the Douglas Portage. At Yale, the brigade was met by four 30-foot bateaux (flat-bottomed cargo boats) sent up from Fort Langley. The exhausted brigadiers and their precious cargo of furs were able to travel the rest of the journey by boat, arriving at Fort Langley on June 8th. They were given a month to rest and re-organize before returning on the “incoming brigade” to re-supply the forts before winter. By the time the incoming brigade returned to Fort Kamloops on August 23rd, the HBC had lost 70 horses to malnutrition and injury. In addition, 25 pieces of valuable cargo had been lost and one HBC employee had committed suicide. Not surprisingly, the HBC abandoned the route. The 1848 route was only used by the fur brigades one more time in the spring of 1849, but by then, an easier route over the Cascade Mountains had been found. 1849 - A Better Route Over the Cascades Following the disastrous brigade of 1848, the HBC considered another First Nations trail that had been shown to A.C. Anderson back in 1846. Called “Blackeye’s Trail”, the route was used by Similkameen Chief Blackeye for hunting and trade. The trail crossed the Cascades from Blackeye’s village at Otter Lake to the Stó:lo village of Ts’qó:ls (Hope). During the winter of 1848, the HBC’s Chief Factor in Fort Victoria, James Douglas, ordered James Yale (the Chief Trader at Fort Langley) to build a new fort beside the Stó:lo village of Ts’qó:ls, at the confluence of the Fraser and Coquihalla rivers. Yale sent Henry Newsham Peers and a crew of 10 men to build a trading post there, and to build a trail connecting the new fort to Blackeye’s Trail. The fort’s name reflected the company’s desperate need to find a safer brigade route over the mountains. Thus, Fort Hope was established in 1848, and the new trail was completed by Peers and his men in time for the incoming brigade of 1849. The 1849 trail was a success, serving as the HBC’s main transport route over the mountains until the early 1860’s. The Nlaka’pamux / First Brigade Trail Lives On Although the 1848 trail was rejected by the HBC, it continued to be used by First Nations for hunting and plant gathering, and later by gold seekers who traveled the canyon in the 1850’s and 60’s. The trail continued to be a convenient way to avoid the cliffs of the Black Canyon and Hell’s Gate, on the way to Boston Bar and Lytton. Trail Work Hope Mountain Centre worked on restoring the trail in collaboration with Spuzzum First Nation, New Pathways to Gold Society, the Ministry of Transport, and Recreation Sites & Trails BC. The grand opening was April 20, 2012. We continue maintaining it annually.
