A team of sharpshooters will begin eradicating the deer this winter.
W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations, Parks Canada and other stakeholders working on a restoration project to save a threatened ecosystem in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve are confident: To find success, a European deer species needs to go.
“This is really an important place for us. A place for medicine. A place of food,” he says. “We have many, many stories of things that occurred here that are part of our history of Tsawout.” “The animals that are here thrive because of what is growing on here,” says Pelkey on Portland Island. “And our people really want this to be brought back to SḰŦÁMEN , really want our land out there to thrive.”“Trees in the overstory are trying to produce seedlings,” says Becky Miller. “But they cannot grow beyond a year or two or several years of age before European fallow deer find them and eat them and they die.
“One of the big problems with this is that grand fir is really woody. It catches on fire very easily,” says Kate Humble. Humble says a team of sharpshooters are being hired, as was the selected approach in consultation with the B.C. SPCA.
