Volunteers will assist WDFW biologists in their efforts to learn more about the Lake Chelan mountain goat populations by conducting backcountry hiking surveys over the weekend.
Volunteers can choose to do a one to three-night backpacking trip on various trail routes in mountain goat habitat based on backcountry experience and comfort level. Some routes can be done as a day trip, but most will require staying over night.
Participants will be required to follow all rules including any necessary permits for their chosen route. On all routes, volunteers will look for mountain goats and record waypoints where they observe goats as well as document the number, ages and sexes of goats observed. Volunteers will also note goat behavior and habitat as well as record waypoints for good viewpoints found along the way.
