The Canada goose and the Vancouver Island marmot, two iconic species in very different situations.

We’re going to hear about a pair of efforts on today’s show, one to get our goose population under control, and one to bring marmots back from the brink.

At the same time, The Marmot Recovery Foundation is hiring for a pair of positions this summer.
