URBAN WILDLIFE PROJECT

Updated June 2025

​

This collaborative project began in 2021 to monitor wildlife in the City of Regina. It is managed by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and University of Regina, and is supported by Nature Regina and other nature based non-profit organizations. It aims to document biodiversity along an urban to rural gradient within and outside the boundaries of the City of Regina. 

 

 

Three full years of monitoring have been completed (2021-24), as well as an M.Sc. depree at the University of Regina by Jordan Rustad using the data generated from this project. There were 28 monitoring stations set up and monitored for 4-week periods during spring, summer, fall and winter. Over 160 species of wildlife were detected using areas inside and around the City of Regina. A monitoring break is planned for the next couple years, with monitoring to resume in the following 3-5 years.
