Join the Selkirk Conservation Alliance as we collect arboreal lichens to support the endangered Selkirk Mountain Caribou recovery plan. Lichens collected will be dried and used by the International Committee at the new Southern Selkirk Maternal Pen. This is the third pen authorized but the first which supports the last herd which still migrates annually into the United States. The pen will protect pregnant cows and their newborn calves until they are strong enough to elude our predators. After capture, the cows are weaned off their native winter diet of arboreal lichens to a pelleted zoo ration. Approximately 200 pounds of dried lichens are needed annually.Group collections are promoted on our Facebook Events page. However, if you are looking for a corporate team building volunteer opportunity? We'd love to work with you and your employees on a special group collection event. No special skills are required, though weather appropriate attire is needed.
