In an effort to restore Roosevelt elk populations in mainland forests, Roosevelt elk from Vancouver Island were released on the Sechelt Peninsula in 1987 and again near Powell River in 1993. In 2000, the Lower Mainland Roosevelt Elk Recovery Project (LMRERP) was initiated in response to a combined need to both control nuisance Roosevelt elk along the urban fringe of the Sunshine Coast and a desire to continue re-establishing historic Roosevelt elk ranges in the Lower Mainland Region.

With the exception of a small isolated population near Phillips Arm, Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus
roosevelti) had been extirpated from the southern mainland coast of British Columbia (BC) by 1900.
Implicated as the major causes of this extirpation is human settlement, market hunting and habitat
alterations (Brunt 1990). In an effort to restore Roosevelt elk populations in mainland forests,
Roosevelt elk from Vancouver Island were released on the Sechelt Peninsula in 1987 and again
near Powell River in 1993. In 2000, the Lower Mainland Roosevelt Elk Recovery Project (LMRERP) was initiated in response to a combined need to both control nuisance Roosevelt elk along the urban fringe of the Sunshine Coast and a desire to continue re-establishing historic Roosevelt elk ranges in the Lower Mainland Region. In addition to nuisance animals in the urban interface, animals in conflict with local forest licensees are also used to stock priority wilderness
areas.
