VIDEO

Trail Camera Project - 20 Jul 2022 - The Sooke Hills Wilderness Project is a collaboration between the Capital Regional District (CRD), the University of Victoria Surreal Lab, and the Coexisting with Carnivores Alliance. Multiple trail cameras are used to track the movement of both park users and wildlife, like cougars, bears, deer, and wolves. The cameras not only capture animals and people, but also the surrounding forest and plant life, giving researchers the opportunity to see how seasonal and climate changes impact the entire ecosystem over time. According to the CRD, data collected from the project will help inform management decisions in the regional park to better protect important wildlife habitat and support a positive visitor experience.
