Bob St. Claire was an American forester who came to BC with an MF degree and some experience in the US Forest Service. He was familiar with the US Forest Experimental Stations. In 1923, as Assistant Chief Forester, he wrote a report recommending: 1) a research station centred in Victoria, and 2) an experiment station in each major forest region in the province. His recommendations were followed. In 1924, Aleza Lake Experimental Station was established and in 1929 Cowichan Lake Experimental Station was established. Bob St. Claire was Assistant Chief Forester three times, but never became Chief Forester.

"After we made the acquaintance of several girls living in Aleza Lake village, they would be invited to come to the camp on a Sunday to enjoy the music. Social events were infrequent, so they did not complain about having to travel three miles by rail and then walking another three-quarters of a mile on a foot trail that was sometimes quite muddy." -- from An Early History of the Research Branch, British Columbia Ministry of Forests and Range (p. 48)
