An environmental indicator for the health of the entire ecosystem, this special butterfly was once widespread in the San Juan Islands, southern Vancouver Island and the surrounding islands of British Columbia. It was believed to have disappeared from Canada until 2005, when 15 checkerspots were observed on Denman Island in B.C.\u2019s Gulf Islands. Since then, WPC has been working to support the checkerspot by building the wild population in B.C. through conservation breeding and helping partner efforts, like the Taylor&#8217;s Checkerspot Butterfly Recovery Project, that restore and maintain habitat for the species.\u2060 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Taylor\u2019s Checkerspot Butterfly Recovery Project is led by Jennifer Heron of the B.C. Ministry of Water, Land, and Resource Stewardship and is guided by the Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team\u2019s Invertebrates at Risk Recovery Implementation Group. It is a collaborative effort to restore Taylor\u2019s checkerspot populations in British Columbia through habitat enhancement, captive butterfly rearing and release, monitoring, public outreach, and other activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m4hbpg1a-be91d99ef3091954f39a5fdf3fe546ce\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m4hbpg1a-be91d99ef3091954f39a5fdf3fe546ce img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m4hbpg1a-be91d99ef3091954f39a5fdf3fe546ce .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m4hbpg1a-be91d99ef3091954f39a5fdf3fe546ce av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-48799 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-48799 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/photo-Helliwell-fall-planting-gp-by-Bill-Hamilton-1842x1080.jpg' alt='' title='photo-Helliwell- fall- planting-gp-by-Bill-Hamilton'  height=\"879\" width=\"1500\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m4hbtwef-001d3d8988dd1943291cf20e432d836f'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>The group had dirty hands and big smiles after planting nearly 600 native plant seedling plugs. Photo: Bill Hamilton<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hornby Island Community School students from Miranda Guzzo\u2019s classes made a significant contribution to the habitat restoration project in Helliwell Provincial Park, off the coast of B.C. this fall. On October 22, they planted yarrow, woolly sunflower, California brome, Junegrass and blue wildrye in bare patches of soil in the park after piles of dead branches and other forest fire fuels were burned last winter. The native plants were grown for the restoration project by Hornby Island Natural History Centre stewards.<\/p>\n<p>Neil Wilson, one of the stewards, said, \u201cThanks everyone for your work in setting up and pulling off our eighth successful Hornby Island Community School, Natural History Centre, BC Parks, and Taylor\u2019s Checkerspot Butterfly Recovery Project collaboration.\u00a0 We managed to plant 592 native plant plugs for the Taylor\u2019s checkerspots!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow &#8211; what an awesome effort,\u201d said Hornby Island Community School Principal Lisa Malones.<\/p>\n<p>The long-term project is enhancing Helliwell\u2019s Garry oak and coastal bluff meadow habitat and reducing forest fire fuels. More dead branches and selective trees will be removed and burned this winter, followed by native plant seeding and planting.<\/p>\n<p>The project aims to improve habitat for endangered Taylor\u2019s checkerspot butterflies and other at-risk species. The Taylor\u2019s Checkerspot Butterfly Recovery Project Team is cautiously optimistic that the work is paying off. Taylor\u2019s checkerspots that were raised at the Greater Vancouver Zoo by Wildlife Preservation Canada staff and released in Helliwell last year reproduced. Their larvae overwintered and emerged in the spring. This is an encouraging sign that the butterflies may re-establish a population in the park.<\/p>\n<p>The project team would like to thank the Cowichan Tribes, Halalt, Homalco, K\u2019\u00f3moks, Lake Cowichan, Lyackson, Penelakut, Qualicum, Snaw\u2019Naw\u2019As, Stz\u2019uminus, Tla\u2019amin, We Wai Kai, and We Wai Kum First Nations for allowing us to restore ecosystems in their traditional territories. Several local volunteers from Conservancy Hornby Island, the Hornby Island Natural History Centre, the Hornby Island Provincial Parks Committee, and others also contributed to the success of this project.<\/p>\n<p>The recovery project has benefited from funding and in-kind contributions from the BC Parks Licence Plate Program, the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, the Environment Canada Habitat Stewardship Fund, and the B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (Ecosystems Branch), Canada Pollinator Partnership and others.<\/p>\n<p>The Taylor\u2019s Checkerspot Butterfly Recovery Project Team includes biological consultants and representatives from the B.C.

In B.C., they were once abundant at 10 sites in the Greater Victoria Area, one site each near Mill Bay and Comox, and sites on Hornby Island (including Helliwell Provincial Park).<\/li>\n<li>They were thought to have been extirpated (became locally extinct) from Canada by 2000 when no Taylor\u2019s checkerspots could be found in their last known sites on Hornby Island despite intensive searches. However, new populations were discovered on Denman Island in 2005 and near Campbell River in 2018.<\/li>\n<li>It is federally listed as Endangered (COSEWIC, SARA Schedule 1), and is on the BC Red list of at-risk species.<\/li>\n<li>Taylor\u2019s checkerspot butterflies need open sunny meadows where they can find suitable host plants (food for larvae and nectar producing flowers for adults), such as woolly sunflower, common camas, small-flowered blue-eyed Mary, wild strawberry, sea blush, and yarrow.<\/li>\n<li>Habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation are major factors in the species\u2019 decline. For example, the meadows along the coastal bluffs in Helliwell Provincial Park became less suitable for butterflies due to invasions of non-native plants and encroaching forests.<\/li>\n<li>Habitat enhancement work (weeding, selective limbing +\/or removal of conifers, re-planting and seeding with native species) has been ongoing in Helliwell Provincial Park for several years.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>The Taylor\u2019s Checkerspot Butterfly Recovery Project<\/h4>\n<p>The Taylor\u2019s Checkerspot Butterfly Recovery Project is led by Jennifer Heron of the B.C.
