Helicoptering Bighorn Sheep for Restoration

6m 44s

Members of the Hells Canyon Initiative gathered Dec. 8 on the Idaho side of Hells Canyon south of Lewiston, Idaho, to capture bighorn sheep and test them for disease. Bighorns, or “tin’úun” in the Nez Perce language, were the primary food source for Nez Perce and Cayuse people for generations. Today, tribal conservationists play an active role in the restoration efforts alongside Fish & Wildlife.
