Large carnivores are particularly susceptible because of their naturally low numbers, wide ranges, and active predator control by people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cascading benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolves allow the healthiest deer to perpetuate by culling sick, old and genetically-inferior individuals. Wolves don&#8217;t kill for sport, they kill to feed themselves. They&#8217;ll return to food reserves for weeks until they (and other wild beings) have finished it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Losing wolves can create ecological effects that ripple through an ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Family knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolves are intensely social and devoted to family. Like people, wolves pass down learned information through generations. Killing wolves has unexpected consequences: when leaders and elder wolves are killed or die prematurely, precious survival experience is lost before it is learned. Small packs &amp; individuals have a harder time bringing down large prey. Consequently, forced to find easier-to-kill prey, wolves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wind um vies rose very itle dangerto people<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221; ertapesson in kers Anektave been on y fiererises wyhere wild wolves reporedy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t feed deer or raccoons: they are prey species of wolves. Food-conditioned deer and raccoons may attract wolves to your yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leash your dog<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolves view all dogs as a territorial threat and unleashed dogs are seen as prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overnight, secure pets inside or in predator-proof kennels outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Residential area wolf encounters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instill wariness in wolves in inhabited areas: wave your arms, use aggressive body language and shout loudly. Let them know they need to respect you and they are not safe in this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Good animal husbandry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fence livestock inside 6&#8242; high enclosures and predator-proof shelters at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free-ranging (unfenced) livestock are seen as prey. If wolves approach livestock during the day, HAZE them: scare them away with loud noises and aggressive body language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After butchering livestock, dispose of carcasses responsibly, buried deeply, ideally away from residential areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Report routine wolf sightings to QuadraWolves@gmail.com or 250.202.7802; report incidents of concern to the Conservation Officer Service at 1.877.952.7277.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To coexist with wolves we must keep them wild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our visit,  we discussed an effort to classify the coastal sea wolf in the same way as the polar bear which would afford protection under the marine mammals act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What seabirds can be found on Quadra Island?

But last year saw Beaufort Vineyards open just north of Courtenow and they&#8217;ve done nothing but make great wines since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben McGuffie and Jill Ogasawara currently have about four acres of vines &#8211; a mixed bag of Petit Milo, Siegerrebe, Bacchus. Leon Millot, and Marchal Foch, with plans to plant Caberet Foch next year. While they wait for their vines to produce enough grapes, they are making their wines strictly from grapes they&#8217;ve sourced from the Nevermore Farm (what used to be Marshwood Estate) and other winegrape growers on the southern end of Quadra Island. Interestingly enough, they intend to continue to use only Quadra-grown grapes for all their wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seldom seen as a single variety elsewhere in British Columbia, Siegerrebe was created by German viticulturist Dr. George Scheu in 1929 at the Alzey institute in the Rheinhessen by crossing the two very floral and early ripening Madeleine Angevine and Gew\u00fcrztraminer winegrape vines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their &#8220;Bara&#8221; $18.40 &#8211; the Japanese word for &#8220;ros\u00e9&#8221; &#8211; picked with profound thanks to the &#8220;Nevermore&#8221; crew and Ben and Jill&#8217;s ever helpful parents &#8211; was crushed and pressed with very little skin contact. This is a delicate off dry wine with an enchanting pink hue. Strawberries, white pepper and subtle tropical fruits abound. Sip solo or serve with salmon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within rock-throwing distance of the ocean, SouthEnd Farm Vineyard&#8217;s specific microclimate is tempered by the waters of the Sutil Charinel to the east, running between Quadra and Cortes islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>http:\/\/www.southend.ca or call 250-285-2257 for more information.
