  • Have an old tripod?

    Do you have an old or faulty tripod that deserves a second chance at usefulness? The Marmot Recovery Foundation is looking for donations of up to 18 well-loved tripods to support wildlife cameras used to monitor marmots in very remote locations. As long as the tripod can stand securely, condition does not matter.

    Requirements: 3 sound legs and stable when standing. The condition of the head unit does not matter (the camera will be strapped to the tripod).

    How to donate:

    Drop-off Locations: We have two locations where you can drop off tripods, at our field office in the BC government building in Nanaimo, and at Habitat Acquisition Trust in Victoria.

    Nanaimo: 2080A Labieux Rd, Attn: Marmot Recovery project / Sean Pendergast

    Victoria: Habitat Acquisition Trust, 825 Broughton St, Victoria (on the Mezzanine level) Attn: Marmot Recovery Foundation.

    If you are in another part of BC, and are looking for a drop off location, please let us know! For the rest Canada, mail is always an option! Mail tripods to our regular address at :
