Adopt a Marmot

When you join the Adopt-a-Marmot Club, you help protect the endangered Vancouver Island marmot every day of the year.

When you join the Adopt-a-Marmot Club, you help protect the endangered Vancouver Island marmot every day of the year.  Pre-arranged monthly gifts are a convenient way to help save this beautiful Canadian marmot  from extinction. Your gift also helps support the conservation breeding program and release efforts that see your marmots safely returned to the wild. For instance, you will help pay for the marmots upkeep at the Tony Barrett Mount Washington Marmot Recovery Centre, the helicopters required to fly them to their new home in the wild, and the transmitters needed to track the marmots to assess the recovery efforts.

When you adopt a marmot you’ll receive:

  • your personalized marmot adoption certificate
  • your full-color poster of a Vancouver Island marmot
  • your official recovery project newsletter (The Marmoteer)
  • your special year-end report about individual marmots

There are three ways you can join:
