We are holding a monthly Bighorn sheep monitoring event. No experience is needed to be a citizen science sheep monitor, just the ability to walk and be outside for 4-6 hours. We will provide you with orientation and tools to do the monitoring. This is in support of our Bighorn Sheep Conservation and Biodiversity project. By participating in the program, volunteers actively contribute to the project’s objectives by assisting in monitoring activities such as observing and documenting bighorn sheep sightings, recording behavioural observations, and collecting data on habitat use.
Please register here if you are interested.
The next sheep monitoring session will be on Nov 15th. We will meet at The Local Coffeehouse in Fairmont at 10am. As we can be out for up to 4-6hrs it’s a good idea to pack some snacks or lunch, wear good walking shoes, dress for the weather, and carry bear spray. If you have binoculars please bring them too.
