Our Chilcotin Ark Institute videos take you into the Chilcotin Ark of British Columbia, Canada, to see what it’s like to take part in conservation projects and become part of our community. These video reviews let you hear directly from people who have spent time with us, and see the landscapes and wildlife they helped to protect.
You’ll find stories ranging from a university practicum at the ranch to a five day wildlife tracking and conservation trip, as well as an introduction to who we are. Along the way, they show work such as invasive plant species removal, whitebark pine and mountain goat conservation, and recording wildlife sightings.
If you’re thinking about volunteering, doing a university practicum or joining a conservation trip, these videos are a good way to get a feel for life here before you apply. When you’re ready, see all the ways to get involved.
