Adults need playgrounds. In 1907, the Canadian government
designated a vast section of the Rocky Mountains as Jasper Forest
Park. Tourists now play where Native peoples once lived, fur
traders toiled, and Metis families homesteaded. In Culturing
Wilderness in Jasper National Park, I.S. MacLaren and eight other
writers unearth the largely unrecorded past of the upper Athabasca
River watershed, and bring to light two centuries' worth of human
history, tracing the evolution of trading routes into the Rockies'
largest park. Serious history enthusiasts and those with an
interest in Canada's national parks will find a sense of connection
in this long overdue study of Jasper.

When Canada created a Dominion Parks Branch in 1911, it became the
first country in the world to establish an agency devoted to
managing its national parks. Over the past century this agency, now
Parks Canada, has been at the centre of important debates about the
place of nature in Canadian nationhood and relationships between
Canada's diverse ecosystems and its communities. Today, Parks
Canada manages over forty parks and reserves totalling over 200,000
square kilometres and featuring a dazzling variety of landscapes,
and is recognized as a global leader in the environmental
challenges of protected places. Its history is a rich repository of
experience, of lessons learned-critical for making informed
decisions about how to sustain the environmental and social health
of our national parks.
