Solicitation No.: 5P420-17-5313/A
Title: Restoring Forest Health Through Removal of Invasive Fallow Deer From Sidney Island, BC
Requirement:
The objective of the work is to provide scientific and technical advice to Parks Canada Agency to explore a range of suitable, evidence-based eradication methods and to develop a detailed plan for operations to eradicate fallow deer (”Eradication Operation Plan”) under two scenarios: i) eradication of fallow deer from the whole of Sidney Island, and ii) removal of fallow deer from the area of Sidney Island under jurisdiction of Parks Canada. This will include all necessary plans to proceed to a fallow deer eradication operation on Sidney Island. Given that Sidney Island is partially privately owned and falls within the traditional territory of several Coast Salish Nations, the plan must consider and reflect the perspectives and rights of both Sidney Island residents and Coast Salish Nations.
