Aleza Lake Research Forest
3333 University way V2N 4Z9 Prince George, BC, Canada

In July and August 2020, we were busy upgrading and refurbishing 6 kilometres of older tributary roads at the ALRF, mainly on the West Branch and Nursery Roads. Many of these roads - which form part of our approx. 40 km permanent road network - were originally built back in the late 1950's and early 1960's! This year, we replaced 10 old culverts and completed extensive right-of-way brushing, ditching, and improved road drainage. Road works were funded directly by the Aleza Lake Research Forest Society, re-investing in our forest road network and public access to these areas. Work on the Nursery Road will continue in 2021/22.

Kudos, farewell, and best wishes to our good friend, most excellent Aleza RF forest projects supervisor, and fellow explorer of 8-foot-tall Devils Club thickets, Sam Gonzalez, who departs the Aleza Lake Research Forest after 6 years with us. Sam is putting down new roots in forestry in northwest BC, and a new home with Nick in Smithers. All the best, Sam, in your new adventures!

Connor completes his October stream flow monitoring and water quality sampling at ALRF, on an upper tributary of Hansard Creek. 9 stream reaches were sampled throughout the Research Forest over 6 months from May to October 2019, as part of a collaborative ALRF-UNBC study.
