Challenging year hindered marmot recovery Lindsay Chung Black Press COURTENAY — Early in the morning, under bright blue skies, 17 marmots were released Sept. 8 into the wild on Mount Washington. The Vancouver Island Marmot Recovery Foundation (VIMRF) and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations released the final three groups of captive marmots onto the mountain, not far from its Tony Barrett Mount Washington Marmot Recovery Centre, as part of the ongoing efforts to rescue the Vancouver Island marmot from extinction and restore a healthy marmot population. While the marmots were released with optimism and hope, this has been a difficult year for the animals, according to veterinarian Dr. Malcolm McAdie, who gave the marmots a physical exam before releasing them.
“It’s been quite a year in terms of weather,” he said. “It was so cold for so long. Normally, we drive up to the facility in early May, but we weren’t able to drive all the way until August. We sustained significant snow damage to the facility as well.” The Tony Barrett Mount Washington Marmot Recovery Centre is celebrating its tenth anniversary
this year. It is a breeding centre, and marmots born at other facilities in Langley, Calgary and Toronto will spend one year here prior to
being released to give them the best chance of survival once they are returned to the wild. This year, the VIMRF expects to

of survival, but then breeding went well. One thing we’re kind of faced with is trying to establish them in Strathcona Park – it’s a bit more rugged than further south. Unfortunately, the last two winters have been so severe, they’ve had a hard time of it.” Sean Pendergast, a wildlife biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, has been involved with the marmot recovery program since 2001. He calls this year “a bit of a challenge,” as they had to reorganize where they did their releases. They initially planned to release marmots in Strathcona Park in early July, but there was still snow, he explained. “We did a bunch of releases to the south
of the Island instead,” said Pendergast. “We’ve now done three major releases into Strathcona Park this year with close to 20 animals. Today, we’re releasing an additional 17 out on Mount Washington with the hopes of establishing them here in the winter where we can keep better tabs on them in the winter. “Strathcona Park is pretty rugged land to keep marmots there. The 17 we’re releasing here, our hope is to keep a close watch on their food, catch them and re-release them into Strathcona Park. We’re hoping to give them a jumpstart.” Pendergast says they’ve had great success in the past relocating animals from Mount Cont. on Page 5

have released about 70 marmots, down from last year’s high of 85. Most of the 85 marmots released last year went to Strathcona Provincial Park. “Unfortunately, a large portion didn’t survive because of that really bad winter,” said McAdie. “We release them from captivity, and probably the hardest part is them getting through that first hibernation. If they make it, their chances of survival are really good.” While many marmots did not survive the winter, reproduction was quite successful. “Sixty pups or more were born in the wild this year,” said McAdie. “We started out having this poor spring in terms

Positive relationship with ski resort Fishing From Page 3 Washington to other sites on the South Island. In the south, the marmots are released in the Nanaimo Lakes area on mountains in the Nanaimo, Cowichan and Nitinat watersheds. Don Doyle is chair of the Vancouver Island Recovery Team and works for the Marmot Recovery Foundation. The recovery team was formed in 1988 to devise a strategy to recover all endangered species in Canada, and three have been created — in 1994, 2000 and 2008, explained Doyle, who took part in the release. The VIMRF was formed as a partnership of private forest companies, the provincial government and the public, according to Doyle. “We have a very extensive public
donor program that now exceeds the contributions of government and industry to raise funds to do the recovery strategy, captive breed, release them and try to get their numbers back up,” he said. “We’ve been quite successful, from a low of 30 animals in the wild in 2003 up to 300, 350 in the wild. We’ve been very successful on the southern island, and we’ve just begun in the last three years working around Buttle Lake with contributions by BC Hydro.” Doyle says they want 150 to 200 animals in three separate populations on Vancouver Island. “We’re pretty much there in the southern populations, but the other two up here on the northern mountain have just started,” he said. “We’ve made great strides; we’ve

seen captive marmots breed in the wild and seen their offspring breed, so by any measure, we’ve been successful.” This year was the first year of supplemental feeding. “We’re encouraged,” said Doyle. “The marmots certainly liked the leaf biscuits we took to them and took to them quickly. We’ll try it again next year and see if that will help.” Marmots’ main predators are wolves, golden eagles and cougars, explained Doyle.

“We see very little predation here, I think because of the people here 365 days a year, and we don’t see a lot of golden eagles here,” he said. “Here in the early 1980s, you were hard-pressed to find a marmot on the hill, and now we have close to 60.” Lupins and pearly everlasting are marmots’ favourite food, and clearing the ski runs off at Mount Washington has provided them with lots of plants, noted Doyle. Doyle emphasized that the marmot
recovery foundation and Mount Washington work together closely, and the marmots do not close the ski hill, as they usually come up in mid-May, and the ski runs are usually closed by then. “It would be very difficult to run this facility without the assistance of the guys here; it’s been a great relationship and very positive for the marmots,” he said.

with Don Daniels For the angler looking for big trout my destination would be Comox Lake. The weather is cooling down and some nice ¿sh can be caught in deeper water. Trolling wedding bands, Àat¿sh or Kwik¿sh can get you surprising results. The Puntledge River in Courtenay opens for chums October 1st. Blue, purple and even green Àies can get you a chum. Now is the time to start beach ¿shing in Campbell River. On any given day you will spot anglers at the beach at Rotary Park, and most places that have easy access along the way. September is a great time to ¿sh for springs, Coho and pink salmon. The next time you are visiting Fisherman’s wharf, stop in and see the seafood selection at Crabby Bobs; owner Ray Phillpow is now a distributor for Flurer Smokery Ltd. Some old ¿shing lures are on display in his shop and he has some stories to share with customers Ray Phillpow with Crabs from Crabby Bob’s who stop by. If you are close to ¿nishing up your ¿shing season and are looking to store your boat, rv or motor home, Indoor Storage Solutions has heated storage available that is close to the marina. In general the pink run of salmon was down from last year, in the Campbell River area, however springs were in abundance, and I look forward to seeing you on the river in weeks to come. If you are planning a ¿shing trip to the Campbell River or Courtenay area I am in contact with ¿shing guides, tackle shops and locals who know the area and are willing to pass on information. Share your ¿shing stories and pictures with me, email: dond@campbellrivermirror.com .
