The training site is the Olympic National Forest Hq at 1835 Black Lake Blvd SW Olympia beginning at 6:00 PM through 8:00 PM.
The relocation of the MtGoat population from the Olympic Peninsula to the North Cascades is a major undertaking and The Mountaineers are asked to play a few roles; in supporting public awareness of the purpose and process of relocation and as trained observers of Mt Goats and backcountry travelers.
This is a unique opportunity to get an update from the Olympic National Forest staff on the roles that The Mountaineers can play in helping the public and National Forest and Park management prepare for Mountain Goat Relocation. Presentations by Wildlife Biologist, Karen Holtrop and Susan Piper
