STUDY AREA
This season our primarily focus was on the Cascade Mountains in Washington. However, we
also established a pilot project in the Rossland Range region of British Columbia looking for
lynx in areas not far from the U.S.-Canadian border. To further delineate core habitats and to
give geographic context to our site selections, we have defined our study area by the following
boundaries:
1. North Cascades: North of US 2 and west of US 97
2. Central Cascades: Between I-90 and US 2
3. I-90 Corridor: Between Hyak and Easton along I-90
4. Southern Cascades: South of I-90
5. British Columbia's Rossland Range: east of the Kettle Mountains, between the Kettle and
Columbia Rivers
