The BC Wildfire Federation (BCWF) is looking for a camera that was removed from the McDougall Creek burn area.

The camera, which is part of the Southern Interior Mule Deer Project, had been removed from a tree and the bear guard left behind.

㽶ƵֱFrom the burn pattern on the tree, they (researchers) believe the camera would have survived the fire,㽶Ƶֱ read a post on the BCWF Facebook page. 㽶ƵֱThese cameras are all password protected and useless to anyone but those gathering data for better managing our wildlife in the SIMDeer Project.㽶Ƶֱ

The BCWF is asking anyone who comes across a Reconyx camera, with a SIMDeer label on it, to contact them no questions asked.

㽶ƵֱWe just want to get the equipment and SD card data back to the researchers,㽶Ƶֱ the post said.

The BCWF and SIMDeer project relies on volunteer dollars and hours to make the project a success, and the loss of an expensive research camera and the SD card data is a setback.
