Wild Sheep Society of British Columbia, Abbotsford, BC

With the sheep population growing and the range deteriorating, it seemed that a die-off was probable. Unless something was done, hunting opportunities for this species would be greatly reduced in the very near future. A small group of wild sheep enthusiasts decided to have a meeting to discuss if an organization could be set up to assist the Ministry of Environment in producing better habitat for the sheep. An executive committee was formed and in March 1992 we received our Society status from the government in Victoria. The Wild Sheep Society was born.
