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 event will be on April 21st, 2024. Start time 10am (for 4-6 hrs). *Note different start time from usual.
Bring a snack or packed lunch. The sheep herd is located near Canal Flats, we can arrange car pooling for the event. We will meet at the Local cafe in Fairmont.
