Bears, cougars and wolves: CRD pilot project captures carnivore count
From Sooke News Mirror:
The Capital Regional District has a horde of images and videos it plans to share with the public this summer, gathered as part of its pilot program to monitor wildlife in a trio of parks. The CRD large carnivore monitoring program, started in January 2025, gathered data on bears, cougars and wolves in East Sooke, Matheson Lake and Roche Cove parks. The three were selected as a connected landscape of “high value habitat,” staff explained, presenting its information to the Parks Committee on Jan. 29.
