Wildlife Animals

It always feels like an honor and a privilege to share the landscape with wildlife. Much of Vancouver Island remains wild, home for deer, Roosevelt Elk, wolves, cougars, black bears and even a few rare grizzlies that swim across from the mainland. Smaller animals include squirrels, introduced rabbits that have spread rapidly, beaver and muskrats, mice, rats and shrews.
