I noticed the plant on the bank of the river, and I have always wondered what the name was. It was not there before the flood, and I lived on this land for over 20 years while growing up.

An unusual surge in the invasive Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) has been observed in Alberta, attributed to climate change, land disturbances, and poor pasture management.

The high productivity of Charlie Lake is leading to alarming deterioration.

Soil erosion, ground subsidance, and structural damage to a public square occurred just shoreward of a retaining seawall in Alert Bay after high rainfall events.

The Balsam Poplar in the Montney Valley are weakened and after a somewhat gentle winter of snow and wind are subject to unusual amounts of blowdown, uprooting, and breakage.

This high temperature resulted in a large and quick melt of the snow which caused significant flooding through the watershed.
