Monitoring Deer Movement | Climate Crew | Parks Canada

Protected and connected habitats provide species with safe havens and ways to move freely between them. Understanding how, when and where species are moving is key in helping them safely access what they need to survive in a changing climate.

Join Parks Canada and Trent University in Thousand Island National Park as they radio collar White-tailed Deer to learn about their movements. This research is helping Parks Canada and partners to better connect habitats, and to prepare for the possible movement of species in response to climate change.

It can feel like the climate is changing faster than we can react. But there are people doing good work. There is a Climate Crew. Become inspired and learn how we can help our ecosystems adapt!

Stay Connected!

Over the past season I've been in two forts of yours, George and Malden. As an American hopping over the Detroit River, I Absolutely loved them, and I'm all for your environmental drives too. Preservation is such an important aspect of us that just seems to be set aside a lot. There's so much history between us, both human and natural, and they should both be preserved and shared, and the current shouldn't be smothered either.

Fascinating and inspiring video. Thanks for making it. Learnt a lot about deer monitoring and how it can create resilience for the population in the face of climate change. Beautiful country Canada, would love to visit one day.

I wonder if you could use a gurney/hammock and luggage scale type situation to weigh the deer? I imagine that would be valuable data you're missing by being unable to weigh. Love your work regardless!
