The Marmot Recovery Foundation is celebrating the release of 15 more endangered Vancouver Island marmots.
“The first thing that happens with this particular group is that starting around 3:30 a.m., the marmots are loaded up into one of our vehicles, driven down to a helicopter hangar in Nanaimo – and then by 6:30 a.m.
Team members were then tasked with waiting outside the burrow and seeing if the marmots were brave enough to leave, explore and adapt.
