​The Willmore Wilderness is the crown jewel of our landscape research program; aside from being the place Jason studied for his Ph.D., it is one of the most magnificent landscapes in Canada. This highly protected landscape is accessible for most only by hike or horse; it is rugged, and diverse, with several species-at-risk. 

We are still mining the data gathered over 4 years researching this beautiful landscape. Our most recent research was in 2020, investigating the impacts of human landscape disturbance on species activity patterns within carnivore communities.
