The Full Story

In the Fall of 2014 The Cow Moose Sign Project was initiated by concerned local hunters Dan and Vivian Simmons of the Cariboo. As a non-profit entity, they designed and fundraised to make effective signage to raise awareness of the plight of cow moose and their calves.

​

For many years, ministry studies and personal hunter accounts had indicated the moose population in BC was on the decline, and is expected to continue in a downward trend into the future. With that in mind, an education campaign was launched through the placement of cow moose signs in various areas to remind residents of the importance of the cow moose in maintaining a healthy population in BC.

The Cow Moose Sign Project is not against hunting, nor hunters. It is intended to promote the protection and respect of cow and antlerless moose in the area, which already face increased pressure from threats such as poaching and wolf predation.
