WOLVERINE
Our wolverine survey areas this season were distributed throughout the North and South Cascades, both east
and west of the Cascade Crest.

Two of our survey areas dedicated to wolverine, Chiwaukum and Union Gap, were active all year in 2015
(Table 7). The Blackjack Ridge location is the only wolverine survey area without run-poles established for
either of the installations. We did not receive any photos/data from the Summer Blossom Ridge survey area
post-installation, so the number of trap nights is undetermined. Numerous wolverine survey areas are being
maintained this winter (2016), weather-permitting, including Johnny Creek, Union Gap, Mount Baker,
Chiwaukum, Lookout Mountain, Ice Lakes, and Summer Blossom Ridge (Table 7).
