work on improving our coverage for difficult-to-access locations, so that bait and hair snares can be
checked on a frequent interval when target species have been detected.
3. Increase coordination in planning, reporting, and processing results from efforts by the CWMP,
Washington State University and Selkirk College researchers monitoring Canada lynx in northeast
Washington and southeast British Columbia.
4. Provide expanded opportunities for connections between volunteers, other ongoing wildlife field research
in our state, and field-skill trainings.
5. Provide a simplified process for reporting project results and more detailed and refined analysis of project
findings, and facilitate sharing with project partners.
