CWMP 2016-2017 Winter Report

2. American marten surveys: Expand our effort with our piloted American marten
surveys with a focus on areas west of Snoqualmie Pass. Provide specific field training
for track identification for this species to improve team leader confidence in positive
identification. Add "marten survey" as an option under the list of transect options in
collector.
3. Price-Noble Transects: The north side of these transects continue to be an access
challenge with the alterations to the highway from construction. Be sure to highlight the
physically demanding nature of these surveys and make sure to assign capable field
teams to complete them.
Acknowledgements
We appreciate supportive grants from Icicle Fund, the WDFW ALEA Cooperative Grants
Program, and The Orvis Company. Once again, SnoValley Coffee in Snoqualmie, Washington
generously stored our field equipment and offered an excellent meeting location for our
field teams for the duration of the season. We thank individual advisory council members,
and project collaborators for the talent, time, and guidance they provide to the project (see
Appendix 1 for a complete list of our advisory council members).
Most importantly, we are grateful for our volunteers, whose hard work and commitment to
quality in and out of the field made this season possible. Without the ongoing volunteer
commitments and leadership of Mallory Clarke and Adam Martin the quality of this project
would be impossible to maintain.

looms. Thank you to any we have missed!
