Translocating Vancouver Island Marmots to Strathcona Park 2025
The Vancouver Island marmot is an Endangered species that was extirpated from Strathcona Park in the Campbell and Puntledge watersheds in the 1990s.
This year, the project will translocate between two and 10 marmots into the Strathcona population. Timely, continued support will continue this species’ progress towards recovery.
Reintroduction efforts like these in the past four years have helped establish new marmot colonies.
