The BC Wildfire Federation (BCWF) is looking for a camera that was removed from the McDougall Creek burn area.
The camera, which is part of the Southern Interior Mule Deer Project, had been removed from a tree and the bear guard left behind.
鈥淔rom the burn pattern on the tree, they (researchers) believe the camera would have survived the fire,鈥� read a post on the BCWF Facebook page. 鈥淭hese cameras are all password protected and useless to anyone but those gathering data for better managing our wildlife in the SIMDeer Project.鈥�
The BCWF is asking anyone who comes across a Reconyx camera, with a SIMDeer label on it, to contact them no questions asked.
鈥淲e just want to get the equipment and SD card data back to the researchers,鈥� the post said.
The BCWF and SIMDeer project relies on volunteer dollars and hours to make the project a success, and the loss of an expensive research camera and the SD card data is a setback.
