Thanks to Selkirk College forestry students for helping out the Arrow Lakes Caribou Society on finishing touches for the caribou maternity pen. Tree stands needed to go in before snowfall. Thanks again for a great day!
The Arrow Lakes Caribou Society (ALCS) would like to thank the Arrow Lakes Cross Country Ski Club (ALCCSC) for their generous volunteer work by “arranging several lichen picks with ALCCSC members and other community members.” ALCCSC members also helped with the construction of the caribou maternity pen, and see the project as “critical to the longevity of caribou population within this area, maintaining its genetic diversity and are greatly disturbed by the long-term negative impacts if this population is lost.” ALCCSC representative, Kathy Smith thinks “the maternity penning project is a positive option to try to mitigate caribou population loss. Its establishment could provide a viable opportunity to maintain current population levels and provide a safe haven for calving.” Thanks again to the Arrow Lakes Cross Country Ski Club for helping with lichen picking and caribou maternity pen construction, both efforts that are much appreciated by the Arrow Lakes Caribou Society!
Provincial Caribou Recovery Program - Predator Reduction Engagement
The Arrow Lakes Caribou Society would like to thank the @kalispel_tribe_of_indians ,headquartered in Washington State, for their cash donation in support of the Caribou Maternity Pen Project. “The Kalispel Tribe has been committed to Mountain Caribou recovery for decades,” says Biologist Bart George. “The Central Selkirk herd is now the closest herd to the Tribe’s area of historic use and is likely the only hope we have to eventually recover caribou in the South Selkirk Recovery area and into the United States portion of the ecosystem.” Bart says “it’s critical to protect and conserve all of the remaining Mountain caribou herds. As the project comes to fruition the Tribe hopes to support the effort through fundraising, outreach, and boots-on-the-ground conservation work”. Thank you again to the Kalispel Tribe for supporting the caribou recovery efforts of the Arrow Lakes Caribou Society.

Is anybody's cat missing? It might be visiting the Caribou Pen. A couple of friends visited the (empty) Caribou Maternity Pen in the last couple of months!
Arrow Lakes Caribou Society would like to thank Selkirk College Forestry students and Recreation, Fish and Wildlife Program students for participating in lichen collection and Caribou Maternity Pen construction. Selkirk College has worked closely in the past with Nakusp and Area Community Forest, an ALCS member group, and wanted to build on their existing relationship and help with the “thoughtful action and expeditious implementation” of the Maternity Pen project. Jesper Nielsen, Forestry Instructor (ret.) says “ALCS is trying to do the right thing in their effort to protect the Central Selkirk Mountain Caribou and it might result saving a species.” What a great idea to include young professionals in the project and “forge” a relationship between ALCS and Selkirk College.
