iN PHOTOS: Summerland photographer capturing mountain goats for 20 years

For the past 20 years photographer Keith Tedman has been grabbing snapshots of the lives of the Summerland mountain goat herd. 

When Tedman arrived in Summerland he discovered the photogenic herd, and since then he’s been more than an observer. 

“Not only shooting but watching over them, reporting to the conservation team if they appear to be in danger with broken fencing etc. We lost some of (the herd) a couple of times during those rock slides but they always managed to find their way back,” Tedman said in an email. 

B.C. has the largest population of mountain goats in North America and while they aren’t endangered, the species is a high priority for conservation in the eyes of the provincial government.

People can report mountain goat sightings online to help with tracking and conservation.
