A Warm Welcome to Danielle Buckle!

Originally from Calgary, Danielle developed a passion for the outdoors while spending her summers and winters learning and playing in the Rocky Mountains surrounding Canmore, Fernie, and Invermere. In 2015 she moved to Victoria (the unceded Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ territories) to pursue her passion for the environment further through a BSc in Geography at the University of Victoria. She immediately fell in love with the ecology and natural history of this beautiful place, exploring everywhere from the intertidal zone to Garry Oak meadows.
Her time in the geography department afforded her many opportunities to get her hands dirty. She has performed ecological surveys in California, studied small mammal populations as a research assistant at the Applied Conservation Science Lab, and worked as a mapping technologist for the Ministry of Transportation.

Spring is here and bats are returning to summer roost sites. One of our more familiar species in buildings and bat boxes is the Little Brown Myotis. Like all BC bats, the Little Brown Myotis is an essential part of our ecology, consuming many insect pests each night. Unfortunately, the Little Brown Myotis is now endangered in Canada. In fact, bats in BC suffer from many threats, and almost half of our 15 species are ‘at-risk’.
