2007-08-003-C2 - Southern Lakes Moose Educational Program
Summary
The main goals and objectives of the Southern lakes Moose Educational Program were to get people out in the land to show that we have a presence and that we care about our wildlife especially Moose and educate as many people about the harvesting of bull moose instead of cows. This program was orientated toward First Nations (FN) since FN members from both CTFN and KDFN have been known to harvest cows if unsuccessful in the harvest of a bull moose. One of the main objectives was to have members from CTFN and KDFN do joint patrols in the Southern Lakes area, taking as much information as possible on each patrol regarding wildlife and people seen or contacted; and educating them on the harvest of bulls only. Due to the unavailability of KDFN, the Program was carried out mostly by CTFN members patrolling the Southern Lakes area. In conjunction with the patrols, this education program included presentations at a few public schools, and students received fridge magnets showing the difference of what happens when a cow moose is harvested instead of a bull moose. On December 12, there were presentations carried out at the Ghuch Tla (Carcross) school. In setting up the schedule with Principal Brian Shanahan we realized it was perfect timing for some of the school students as they had just done studies about moose.
