Throughout the season, the field knowledge and experience of our volunteers help the CWMP staff and Advisory
Council reassess each survey area based on data gathered during the season. Because of their consistent presence
in core habitat, volunteers provide invaluable feedback about the best survey area locations, current field
conditions, and habitat.
Over the course of the 2017 field season, our volunteers placed 72 unique camera installations at 30 survey areas
throughout our study area in the Cascade Mountains and in the Kettle River Mountain Range. Each survey area
had between one and eight discreet camera trap installations spread out spatially and/or temporally throughout
the survey area. Based on guidance from our Advisory Council we had eight survey areas for wolves, eleven
targeting wolverine, two for grizzly bear, five targeting multiple species along I-90, and four survey areas focused
on detecting lynx.
