Parks Canada has earmarked $12 million to fund a multi-phase โFur to Forestโ program, which employs non-Canadian helicopter-mounted sharpshooters to eradicate an invasive herd of European fallow deer from Sidney Island. Thatโs nearly double the $6 million the program was initially forecast to cost.
The program sparked controversy upon its launch in December, particularly in light of the fact local efforts by private hunters have kept the animalsโ numbers in check. Locals told reporters last year those efforts resulted in the removal of nearly 2,000 deer, and at no cost to taxpayers.
