BC Parks Citizen Science Wildlife Monitoring Program

BC Parks Citizen Science Wildlife Monitoring Program

For the past five years, BC Parks has been working with partners in the Skagit Valley and other close protected areas to study wildlife utilizing an emerging tool: wildlife cameras.Through the Citizen Science Wildlife Monitoring project, BC Parks can now better understand the behaviour and movement of target wildlife species within the Skagit River Watershed. Due to the location of Skagit Valley Provincial Park on the US/Canada border, it is important for the two countries to work together to understand the wildlife populations that we share. This research project is designed to gather important data that wildlife researchers, biologists and land managers may use for a variety of purposes. With each passing year, we are able to understand more about the animals who call the Skagit Valley wilderness home.
