Another Successful Year at the Wildlife Refuge As 2011 draws to a close, I can reflect on what a successful year it has been at the Grouse Mountain Refuge for Endangered Wildlife.  After a long 2011/2010 hibernation (the longest on record at 5 months!), Grinder and Coola were happy to get out into their habitats in early May this year.  Last winter's unprecedented snowfall left a huge amount for

Black-tailed Deer call Grouse Mountain home Every year in the spring and summer, dozens of Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus columbianus) inhabit the slopes of Grouse Mountain.  These deer spend their days grazing on the grasses and shrubs that coat our open spaces such as ski-runs.  The most common time to spot them is in the early morning or late evening when they are most active.  During the

Grouse Mountain Moment Contest - July 25 Congratulations to Brian Hutchinson from North Vancouver Brian's Best Grouse Mountain Moment... Early one Spring morning I set out for a hike up the Grouse Grind. It was a cool and slightly rainy day with very few other hikers in sight. As I approached the halfway point, I noticed a figure moving along the trail up ahead of me. Thinking nothing of it, I

friends that are more like family to me who pick me up and dust me off in circumstances like these.
