Some time during your wan-
derings about our province you
are almost certain to find
yourself enjoying the comfort of a
prepared campsite in some out of
the way spot where you least
expected to see it. It will be there
because several B.C.. fish and
game clubs have undertaken to
supply a voluntary service to the
camping public. Quesnel Rod &
Gun Club has probably been most
ambitious in this regard: A few
years ago the club set out to
campers that little bit of extra
comfort and convenience that a
picnic table provides and over
hundred informal-type campsites
throughout the Cairboo. and
Chilcotin have resulted.

The same club tackled a more
elaborate. project at Tzensaicut
Lake, some fifty miles southwest
of Quesnel. The. lake, teeming
with co-operative rainbow trout,
became popular with. anglers
when a Forest Service road
reached it. The. road . provided
access to the lake, but there were
no boat launching ‘facilities, no

‘cleared camping or picnic area
or other amenities, and the!
likelihood of development ‘by
public agencies so far. off the
main highways was remote. So
the club took it-upon themselves
to secure .a public reserve on a
ten-acre lakeshore plot, cleared it
of brush and dead trees, set up
campsites complete with tables,
firesites, and garbage cans, built
a boat launching ramp and made
‘Improvements ..to.. the. existing
‘rough access road.:.

The. Quesnel club’s public
spirited efforts. have been
duplicated) by “many... other
provincial. fish and: game clubs.
Nicola Valley-Rod & Gun Club,
for, example, has built campsites
on Stump and Nicola Lakes, and
the Kimberly Club created an
elaborate campsite’ on Premier
Lake in the Kootenays..:

This kind: of public service is
‘not. uncommon ..among "the
member clubs of the B.C. Wildlife
-Federation,. and jong before the
provincial government passed
the Litter’ Act, many. of - the
sportsmen’s: ‘organizations had
recognized the problem and were
doing their bit to attack it in their
own.way. They found that often
all that. was needed to curb much
of: the: careless’ littering. was a’
gentlereminder to the public that
they. should: not leave. the ‘out-

signs at their-campsites reading,

Wildlife Clubs
Work to Aid All

“Wanted — Your Help to Keep
this. Campsite Clean,’’ while
Richmond and Kamloops clubs
distributed a sign that advised
campers “This is God’s Country,
Don’t. Leave it’. Looking Like
Hades.’’ Not everyone heeds. the
signs. and the new legislation is
needed to deal. more drastically
with the uncaring, but the
educational program carried by
the clubs has helped reduce lit-
tering’ at’ the most frequented
unorganized campsites.

The fish and game clubs,
through the Federation, were
also in the forefront of the move

‘to have non-returnable. beverage

containers banned from. use -in
the province. The B.C. Wildlife
Federation, the’ clubs’ central
body, has in fact led the vanguard
in the fight against all types of
pollution, and. the ‘streams and
lakes you fish this season may
well have been saved through
their efforts. to prevent their
despoilation. by. domestic. and
industrial effluents.
