Bighorn Sheep Feeding Program - Looking for Volunteers!

The Kicking Horse Canyon bighorn sheep have been getting hit by vehicles on the TransCanada highway for many years. In an attempt to mitigate these losses and maintain this herd, we have reluctantly implemented a diversionary feeding program that has been successful in reducing traffic-caused mortalities.

This feeding program is planned to continue until fencing along the highway is effective in keeping sheep off the highway. This activity has been permitted under the Provincial Wildlife Act.

We are currently looking for volunteers to participate in the feeding program. This involves transporting and spreading hay at the designated feeding station once a day for a week. If you are interested in volunteering, reach out to Brian@goldenrodandgun.com
