At the beginning of the 21st century, the population at one breeding site on the grounds of the Okanagan Valley s En owkin Centre stood at just one pair. Today it s grown to roughly 22 pairs, a phenomenon Environment and Climate Change Canada researcher Christine Bishop largely attributes to the rejuvenation of wild roses in the area.
