Bighorn in our Backyard is an ongoing education, research and restoration project focused on the Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep herd and its associated ecosystem in the Radium Hot Springs and Invermere area.

The project has four primary objectives:
1. Raise Public awareness and motivate action towards bighorn sheep (Blue Listed) and their associated ecosystem (grassland and open forests NDT4) in the Radium-Stoddart area through comprehensive outreach programs.
2. Involve community residents in ecosystem monitoring and restoration through the Bighorn Community Monitoring Program.
3. Coordinate and conduct multi-stakeholder ecosystem restoration of the Radium-Stoddart bighorn herd’s historic critical winter range with primary emphasis on ecosystem connectivity and improving the health and extent of open forest and grassland ecosystems to benefit the red and blue listed plant and animal species associated with these ecosystems.
4. Assess and encourage potential community-based economic returns associated with the conservation and restoration of ecosystems and wildlife within and adjacent to the community of Radium Hot Springs (serves as a regional model for other communities).
