GROUNDBIRCH

GROUNDBIRCH
Is a small agriculture community that lays on the John Hart Highway (Highway #97) and the now-defunct British Columbia Rail line (BC Rail), 45 kilometers west of Dawson Creek in the Peace River region of British Columbia. Groundbirch only has a general store and a RV Park, but no longer has a wheat elevator to serve local farmers. Groundbirch was first settled in the early 1920s by Ivor Benterud and Ole Martinsen and was formerly known as Stewart Flats.
