Some of our " cross-border
challenges include creation of
trails and routes, accumulation
of trash and waste, and impacts
stemming from interdiction
and lifesaving efforts. "
Some Border-Area History
The continental United States hosts
nearly 6,000 miles of border between
Mexico and Canada. Initially, maps
contained the only real demarcation
of those borders. Soon, however,
monuments or wire fencing would
mark those boundaries, and today,
walls are believed to be the most
effective divide. Both borders pass
through a variety of terrain, dissect-

ing what author Ronald Rael in his
Borderwall as Architecture lists as " rivers, farms, homes, Native American
lands, public lands, cultural sites,
wildlife preserves, migration routes,
and a university campus. "
Our almost 4,000-mile border
with Canada is considered the longest undefended border in the world,
although it's enforced by personnel
from both countries. One of the
best known and loved parks along
this border is Peace Arch Park. First
dedicated in 1921 to celebrate peace
between the two nations, this park
continues to be a symbol of collective peace between the two countries.
The park's 67-foot concrete arch,
constructed to mark the centennial of the treaties that resulted from
the War of 1812, sits on the international boundary between the two
countries. " The Peace Arch Monument is on the National Register of
Historic Places, " says Jason Snow

of the Washington Parks. " One half
of it rests in [British Columbia] Canada and the other half in the [state
of Washington] United States. It's a
symbol of peace that's inspirational
to the world. There is no fence [between the countries], only signs. "
" The possibility exists for illegal activity to occur anywhere
along the United States' border
with Canada, and the Peace Arch
State Park is no exception, " says
Jason Givens, with the U.S. Border Patrol. " Illegal crossings can
occur in both directions, north and
south. Positive relationships with
our Canadian counterparts help
in the detection and apprehension
of cross-border activity " and " border security includes, among other
things, agents stationed in and near
the park and remote video surveillance systems, " Givens adds.
Peace Arch Park is a botanical
attraction with formal flower beds,
