Thanks Wildlife Reporters!
.
Thanks to everyone who reported sightings of badgers, caribou, skinks, and four species of birds. One hundred and twenty-five sightings from across the Columbia Basin were reported online at fwcp.ca. These sightings confirmed known locations for some species and identified new locations for others. You could win an organic bamboo shirt for being a wildlife reporter next year.

Green Gifts For
Giving

Why not give a birder on your holiday list a home-made bird house? Or give a gardener a bee condo to attract bees? FWCP is putting together some great green gifts that won’t cost a lot to make but will pay off big time.
