This is the 70th Annual Sheep Count at Vaseaux Lake– the longest consecutive wildlife and sheep inventory count inĀ Western Canada.
Sunday Results
We had approximately 25 Volunteers/Hikers attend with an 8am Start at the Vaseux Lake Campground. We’d like to thank our visitors who came from the Lower Mainland to be apart of history and locals who braved the frigid temperatures in the name of conservation.
