What does the future hold for wildlife, habitat conservation, and responsible resource management in British Columbia?
As part of our special provincial election series, Talk Is Sheep welcomes Donegal Wilson, BC Conservative candidate for Boundary-Similkameen and former Official Opposition Critic for Water, Land and Resource Stewardship.
Host Kyle Stelter sits down with Donegal for a wide-ranging conversation about the challenges and opportunities facing British Columbia, with particular attention to rural communities, natural resources, and the future of wildlife conservation.
Drawing on her experience in outdoor recreation, land-use planning, and provincial politics, Donegal shares her perspectives on government accountability, economic development, and the need to better engage conservation organizations in decision-making.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The economy, affordability, and the future of rural British Columbia.
- Balancing natural resource development with healthy wildlife populations and ecosystems.
- Provincial funding and priorities for wildlife and habitat conservation.
- The role of hunters, anglers, and conservation organizations in shaping wildlife policy.
- Wild sheep conservation, including disease prevention and the South Okanagan Psoroptes treatment project.
- Responsible firearms ownership and public safety.
- What a Conservative-led government could mean for British Columbia.
This conversation is part of our commitment to giving British Columbians an opportunity to hear directly from political leaders about the issues that matter to our wildlife, wild places, and conservation community.
Talk Is Sheep is presented by SITKA Gear, with special episode support from Gunwerks.
