The caribou in the Central Selkirk Caribou Maternity Pen were released on July 21, 2023. The original 14 animals (ten cows) have been kept in the pen since capture in April 2023. Eight calves were born over the months of June and July. ALCS identified seven male calves and one female calf.
Upon release this year, ALCS observed the caribou taking a similar route to last year. The caribou quickly travelled up to the top of Raven Creek and were in the subalpine within a couple of hours. The caribou split up into two groups, and are remaining in the area above Raven Creek and Heart Lake.
