Officials have closed the Orchard area of Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park in Kelowna to the public to allow space for does and their new fawns.
The partial closure is temporary, however, and the rest of the park remains open.

Signs have been posted on all entrances of the park noting a ‘Deer Alert’ along with information about what to do if you encounter a deer.
This is the season in B.C. where does are fawning, and many are having babies in urban areas. Conservation officers are reminding people to keep their dogs on leashes and to leave fawns alone.
