Your gifts to the Foundation have made it possible for us to put the Vancouver Island Marmot back on a path towards recovery and away from extinction. One way we say “thank you” is by giving our donors a chance to name-a-pup in the fall.
Hollis is an new marmot mom at Mt Washington, and her children from last year are growing up fast, and are now playing an important role in rebuilding the Strathcona population. Willellen was the only female of Hollis’ 2015 litter. She loves to box with her brothers. Rex is very close to his sister Willellen and they were often found in the same burrow or boxing. Both were born on Mount Washington, but were moved into Strathcona Provincial Park.
