Here today, here tomorrow: A history of Port Alberni
No full textAudio recording and transcript of Jan Peterson's February 2001 presentation to the Nanaimo Historical Society about the history of Port Alberni. Peterson, an author of multiple books about the Alberni Valley, focuses her talk on the area’s history from 1856, when Adam Grant Horne was the first white person to explore the region, to 1967, when the “twin cities” of Alberni and Port Alberni amalgamated to form a single municipality. Peterson chronicles the region’s long standing involvement with the forestry industry, starting in 1860, when workmen arrived to build the Anderson sawmill. Early settlers, transportation, newspapers, politics, mining, and fishing in the area are also covered. Peterson details several notable event’s in Port Alberni’s history including: the “Great Trek” of 1934, where striking loggers marched from Parksville to Great Central Lake; the June 23, 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake; and the devastating March 27, 1964 tsunami. Peterson discusses the lead up to amalgamation between Alberni and Port Alberni, including the tenure of the first woman mayor on Vancouver Island, Mabel Anderson of Alberni, who opposed the merger. Peterson concludes her talk with a brief update about Port Alberni since amalgamation, focusing on the challenges in the forest industry, including decreased demand and environmental and Indigenous opposition.https://library.viu.ca/libinfo/harmfullanguagestatementhttps://viurrspace.ca/bitstream/handle/10613/21891/PetersonPortAlberniTranscript.pdf?sequence=

Sensitive species survey, Peterson Air Force Base, 2017-2018
Full text linkPrepared for: U.S. Department of Defense, Peterson Air Force Base.December 2018.Includes bibliographical references.The plant survey identified 165 species, of which 124 were native species. Six B‐List Colorado noxious weed species were found in 2017‐2018. The rare plant species targeted in the survey included two federally threatened species, Ute ladies' tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis) and Colorado butterfly plant (Oenothera coloradensis). Both of these species have low likelihood of occurring at Peterson AFB as they are wetland dependent and generally occur in undisturbed habitat. The tallgrass prairie community in Peterson East originally documented in 1997 continues to be in good condition though decreasing in size with continued development of infrastructure on the base
