We are excited to announce the launch of a new wild sheep health project in the Kootenay region!
This initiative aims to gather critical information on diseases, environmental contaminants and overall bighorn sheep health, helping identify health threats to bighorn sheep populations and guide habitat restoration and conservation efforts.
We kindly ask Region 4 guide outfitters and Limited Entry Hunt permit holders to collect biological samples from the bighorn sheep they harvest this year. Sampling kits and instructions will be distributed this summer. To order free sampling kits, fill out this short form with your mailing information:
This project is made possible through a partnership between the BC Wildlife Health Program, the Wild Sheep Society of British Columbia and Wildkin Veterinary Services. Your participation is greatly appreciated!
