Nature
Tsútswecw Provincial Park in British Columbia follows the Adams River between Adams Lake and Shuswap Lake and is closely tied to the Secwepemc, whose name for the area means many rivers. The park is renowned for one of North America’s largest sockeye salmon runs, when millions return to spawn in a dominant four-year cycle, with smaller runs in between. It also preserves evidence of thousands of years of Secwepemc habitation, including kekuli pit houses and pictographs, as well as traces of later logging flumes. Valued as both a cultural landscape and conservation area, much of it burned in the Bush Creek East forest fire in August 2023.
