We are pleased to announce that the Idaho Conservation League is partnering with the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to conduct a wolverine study in the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains during the winter of 2011-2012. The success of this effort relies on volunteer support.
Volunteering for the wolverine study can take many forms, but the objective is to capture wolverines on camera in these two mountain ranges. Little is known about local wolverine ecology. This study will enable biologists to have a better understanding about how many wolverines there are in the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains, as well as the habitats they live in.
If you like wolverines and snowshoeing or back country skiing, please considering volunteering for our study.
If you are interested in volunteering or want more information, please contact Kelsey Brassuer by email at mustelids@scotchmanpeaks.org.
