American Badger Sightings<\/span><\/h3><\/h2><\/div>

Did you know that there are American badgers living in the Columbia Valley? Unfortunately, the American badger is an endangered species and needs our help! Do you know where a badger lives, where a badger burrow exists, or have you seen a badger (dead or alive) in the area between Canal Flats and Donald? If so, please let us know by contacting the Species at Risk Biologist with the Columbia Wetlands Stewardship Partners through the email address provided below. This project is in partnership with Kootenay Connect and is financially supported by Environment and Climate Change Canada through the Canada Nature Fund with equal matching funding from local partners.<\/p>\n<\/div>
