2013 Wild Sheep Society Of British Columbia Convention and Fundraiser.....A Success!!
Thanks again to everyone that came to the Convention last weekend. It was great to see so much effort toward conservation of our sheep. Keep your eye out for a summary in the near future.
We've already started planning for the 2014 Convention and we are looking for your feedback on this past fundraiser. What did you think of the new location in Kelowna, how was the food, how were the rooms, what did you think of the auction and raffle items? Regarding the Friday seminars, did you find them useful, are there any topics you would like to see covered in future years?
We are always trying to make the annual fundraiser better and your feedback helps us do that. The better the fundraiser, the more we can do for wild sheep! Please send comments through the website under "Contact Us" or visit our Facebook page.
Volunteers Needed!
The Wild Sheep Society of BC is looking for your help on a weekend work-bee. This is a great opportunity to contribute to “on the ground” work to enhance wild sheep and wild sheep habitat in BC. You’ll also get a chance to get to know other hunting, outdoor and conservation enthusiasts from all over the province.
The Society is teaming up with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources and private stakeholders to protect a range fence in a bighorn transplant and lamb recruitment study area. This weekend’s project is a fire protection step of brushing out the fence line and creating a fire guard of about 10 meters wide by 2km long. A habitat enhancement burn will be taking place at a later date to improve range that has deteriorated over decades of fire suppression. Overall this is a fantastic, flagship, multilevel project for wild sheep and mule deer and a great opportunity to show what we can do for wildlife.
